Sharing some of me.......

sigh

If I had to do it all over again

,

If I had my children to raise again
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes more
Do more hugging and less tugging
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I'd think less about the love of power and more
about the power of love

Stellar

This brought tears to my eyes. How true this is. I just pray that parents starting out will read this. If only we could do it again.

Thanks for the comfort and inspiration your site provides.

I found a bunch of quotes, google her. She was a great comedic writer, who came up with truths like this and others that would make you giggle, especially when she talks about her kids. :D rip
