It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.

Most of us, I believe, admire strength... Sometimes, though, I wonder if we confuse strength with other words like aggression or even violence.

Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.

All of us have special ones who have loved us into being

When I was a boy I used to think that STRONG meant having big muscles, great physical power; but the longer I live, the more I realize that real strength has much more to do with what is NOT seen. Real strength has to do with helping others.

Very early in our children's lives we will be forced to realize that the "perfect" untroubled life we'd like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don't want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
