Our family affects all aspect of life

Ellen says: Family is more than a source of life and love, it is a starting point for our ideas, beliefs, habits and personality . Providing a healthy family life is like providing family meal, it satisfies the basic requirements of life and makes everything else possible.

I do no have to look far to find the origins of feelings that life should be enjoyed.. With a large family and with a parent that both pursued their carreer, many would expects my parents to have felt overwhelmed by their responsibilities.

The way they approached life for as long as I can remember was to embrace what they were doing, embrace their situation. It didn't matter if something happened to one of us that was good od bad, they took joy from being a parent.

I think we assumes that parents are important for a big and small things that we teach to our kids, like teaching right from wrong. It's probably the tiniest little things everyday that parent teach by example that help add up to who we are. I am trying to do for my children what my family did for me, and show them an example of a life to be cherished and a positive place for a family in it.
