Family...

FAMILY
Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, successes and failures in career, marriage, and divorce -- all kinds of characters. It is tied to places 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. ~Thomas Moore

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. ~Virginia Satir

In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, and a ride to our future. ~Alex Haley

Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationships flourishing and growing. ~Jim Robin
