It was an ordinary Saturday, and my husband and I had decided to get a slice of pizza for lunch. We were talking about things that were pressing on my mind regarding work and life and stress when I looked at him and said, “You make me calmer. Because of you, I pause before speaking, or texting, or writing, or responding. And for that, I’m forever grateful.”
