Today was better.  Intense journaling. Intense discussions.  Intense convictions.  Intense forgiveness.  Intense gratitude.  And hope.

Today was the best day we've had in a long while.  I've committed to making small but significant changes making myself more available to my children throughout the day.  I'm praying that as I work to change myself in these ways, I can be a blessing and example to the rest of the family that is struggling through their own issues.
