When we retire at night, we constructively review our day. Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid? Do we owe an apology? Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once? Were we kind and loving toward all?~ Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86.
Did we do a good job of getting dressed today?
Did we do a good job of putting our toys away?
Did we do a good job of showing respect?...
And the answer to each from each four-year-old is, "Yes, sir,"
which sometimes leads to reminders of activities,
to reassessment by the child. And when the answer stays yes
a magnet communicates, "well done" with a quarter
in the bank those days with seven affirmatives.
Coming clean at the end of the day.
Not beating yourself up, not ignoring the faults,
just an honest look at the day to got to bed,
to sleep, free of the turmoil of shortcomings not set right.
