Emotional Intelligence for Better Relationships
If you don’t mind, I’m going to be Captain Obvious for a moment and share something with you that you already know:

It’s hard to enjoy life if you are weighed down with the belief that something bad is going to happen. How can you appreciate today if you believe tomorrow will bring misery?
There is a path to a better today. This episode will give you some tools to make that happen.

Yes.
It was a steam engine parade with nothing but steam powered tractors blowing extremely loud steam whistles. You don’t realize how a loud steam whistle is until you are about 20 feet away from one. When you’re that close and it goes off, you better block your ears or you’ll be sorry.
