The Importance of Family
*Working Towards a Better World
Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul. -
Thomas Moore
Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back. -

This is a repost of a 365 day self portrait challenge in which I combine a self portrait and an abstract painting I did of my family. The painting was done in a class in which I was asked to paint a self portrait, in those days I was rather shy so asked if I could do myself with my family and luckily for me my request was accepted.
By now you will all know the importance I put upon family it is the basis for a good life. A strong and close-knit family lasts a lifetime. I brought up my children to know that they can always rely on us parents, but they also had to learn the importance upon being able to rely upon one another as well, happily they learned this lesson successfully and they all apply it today and I am sure that they always will.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
