Be happy with what you have.
Be excited about what you want.
Family life is full of major and minor crises --
the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and
divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and
histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and
personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul.
I think togetherness is a very important
ingredient to family life.
I know why families were created with all their
imperfections. They humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself
occasionally, so that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed.
