Refresh the Day
by M.J. Clark, APR

When I take my two sons to the grocery store, it’s usually a struggle.  They want everything they see, and I don’t want to buy it all for them.  And yet I don’t want to be the frugal mom that never buys them anything special either.  They usually end up conning me into several things each time, and I usually end up mad at myself when I’m in line with a cart full of junky toys and candy that they don’t need.

So this scenario began to play out again at the grocery store about a month ago, after an especially challenging day, and I had simply had it.  I explained to them that I was upset, they were getting NOTHING this time, and I would not be taking them to the grocery store with me ever again because I found their badgering exasperating.  I felt very upset with them, and the kids were then very displeased with me too.                            (continued)

How Good do You Want to Be?
By Darryl Graves, guest contributor

  A few years ago I was fulfilling my interest in football by serving as an assistant varsity coach at the local high school.  One of my many jobs was conducting conditioning drills and position drills in the sweltering August heat.  In the summer of my final season the head coach introduced our slogan for the year; “How good do you want to be?”

For two grueling weeks every time a player pulled up short of the finish line in a sprint I asked him ‘how good do you want to be?’                                 (continued)
