Thank you CBS Sunday Morning for bringing feel-good stories like this one. Do you wish you had a kiddo like Roman in your neighborhood?

A child transforms a North Carolina neighborhood If you pass by four-year-old Roman Butzlaff's house in Concord, N.C., he will surely greet you with a wave and a "hey."

We just celebrated the 4th of July. Obviously it’s a celebration of our independence. Which leads me to ask, how independent are you? Are you too dependent on others? Especially your partner? It’s important that partners have lives together, but equally important that they have their own interests and friends. In a healthy relationship partners support one another. Growth is encouraged and successes are cheered.

“Love isn’t something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith and the overcoming of narcissism . It isn’t a
feeling, it is a practice.
Eric Fromm
