To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart. Charlie's Drops of Inspiration--Vinyl inspirations for your life "Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."  Earl Nightingale, 1921-1989, Author and Radio Announcer ***** “In order to strengthen the father in the home, I make two simple suggestions: first, sustain and respect the father in his position; second, give him love, understanding, and some appreciation for his efforts. . . . “In terms of giving fathers love and understanding, it should be remembered that fathers also have times of insecurity and doubt. Everyone knows fathers make mistakes—especially they themselves. Fathers need all the help they can get; mostly they need love, support, and understanding from their own.” --James E. Faust, “The Father Who Cares,” Liahona, Sept. 2006, 4

Just a Thought...  “I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best I could bring to it.” — Rose Kennedy "Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free." - ~ Eckhart Tolle   "Parents should never drive their children, but lead them along, GIVING THEM KNOWLEDGE AS THEIR MINDS ARE PREPARED TO RECEIVE IT. Chastening may be necessary betimes, but parents should govern their children by faith rather than by the rod, leading them kindly by good example into all truth and holiness."  Brigham Young, Discourses of Brigham Young, pg. 208 You cannot create experience.  You undergo it.  Albert Camus
