Where You Have Been Is Not Nearly

Being Of Good Cheer Makes It Possible For Us To Turn All Of Our Sunsets Into Sunrises.

A Friend Is A Possession We Earn, Not A Gift.

A Willingness To Practice Patience. Patience In Communication Is That Certain Ingredient Of Conduct We Hope Others Will Exhibit Toward Us When We Fail To Measure Up. Our Own Patience Is Developed When We Are Patient With Others.

A Willingness To Vocalize Feelings. How Important It Is To Be Willing To Voice One's Thoughts And Feelings. Yes, How Important It Is To Be Able To Converse On The Level Of Each Family Member. Too Often We Are Inclined To Let Family Members Assume How We Feel Toward Them. Often Wrong Conclusions Are Reached. Very Often We Could Have Performed Better Had We Known How Family Members Felt About Us And What They Expected.

Sometimes When Family Members Least Deserve Love, They Need It Most. Love Is Not Appropriately Expressed In Threats, Accusations, Expressions Of Disappointment, Or Retaliation. Real Love Takes Time, Patience, Help, And Continuing Performances.
