Watching the news is increasingly difficult these days.  Sometimes, I wonder how I avoided the fatal situations that tragically end so many lives.  I am sure there are more factors than I can count, but as I contemplate this question, an “Old School” Solomon Family lesson comes to mind.

(Not sure, ask your spouse or someone else you trust.) * Find an unpleasant penance that you must perform every time you behave badly.  (Conversely, treat yourself when you do well.) * Think about how you will overcome your bad habit as you work through your penance. * Focus on getting a little better every day.
