gentle conversation

This happened a few times this week. One of these was with my daughter who had made a mistake and when she told me about it she was defensive at first. She is used to that being the case with her father. Instead with me she was surprised when I discussed at a very level tone what did she learn from the situation. She bristled a bit as she feels that she has to do everything right. I let her know that I have made mistakes just like the one she did, and we worked it out. My own conversation, I already wrote about before...butI also am pleased that I do that now.It is as though I were talking to a loving friend. I am my loving friend.
