Making The Decision To Be Happy

When SiriusXM was offering its free trial, I signed up so I could listen to you again (I used to listen when you were on AM radio).  In just a few weeks, I realized how miserable I've been and what it has done to my family.  I have been acting like an entitled brat. 

My husband and I had a couple of rough, stressful years.  Dealing with depression and anxiety and strong-willed children put a strain on our relationship.  Bitterness in me built up, and I wouldn't let myself be happy.  One call you took changed all that.  I decided when I heard it that I was going to be happy and appreciate whatever I had. 

As a result, my husband and I haven't argued for weeks, my kids are happier, and we are all getting along much better.  I had been working weekends, and when I got home, I wanted to rest while my husband took care of the kids.  I got grumpy and irritable when that didn't happen.  Now that I've been off the last ten weeks, instead of making it all about me, I ask him what I can do to help make the weekend easier for him. And we're having the best weekends of our marriage.  Thanks for your wisdom and your courage to speak the truth.
