Family

Blog 9 ...

     An old adage speaks to a truth: "None of us chooses the time of our birth or the family in which we're born!" 

           Whether or not we come into the world unloved or wonderfully expected does not define what and how we become.  A life just gets happily or sourfully lived among, and between people in nuclear, extended, or blended families.  Members of families make or break what happens to lives born.  All family members could do is choose to responsibly care for and mold it or carelessly allow it to be shaped by challenges, opportunities, circumstances, and experiences available to it.  Fortunately, when one gets to an awakening of sorts, the human being into which one evolves and naturally becomes does get to choose ... and then gets to decide how the rest of its life gets steered.  Personal decisions unfold consequences for all.  Good and bad choices define then one's present and future. 

      It doesn't take a lot of smarts to reflect on how a life in one's family emerges.  As difficult it may be to swallow an unfortunate birth circumstance, it behooves one and all to only accept it, make the very best of it, and fully live it.  It is, by all means, useless to fill a room for griping and whining about it!
