This morning, I thought about why we see less value in things given to us versus things we buy. Actually, I just thought about why I’m like that. I think the key is ownership. On my last trip to Alabama, my mom sent me off with a bag of yellow apples. I don’t remember what…

I get to talk to the children on Sunday nights before bedtime. The last 4 calls, only my daughter (3) answers the phone during the designated window of time their mother turns on the phone. She talks really well, but on the phone I can understand a few words at a time. I can understand…
