I was already in a good mood (summer sunshine!) when I started on this, but I feel even better for reading it. It sparked related thoughts about how easily we confuse our desire for control with the possibility of change. We tell ourselves that people won't change but in reality, they just won't do what we tell them, when we tell them. They need space to discover things for themselves. Just as I know I do!
Love this a lot. Thank you Margaret Heffernan for being a voice of sense.
