Your family experience is already a meaningful one. The question is: what kind of meaning are you seeing as your experiences unfold in your life?

It can mean nothing, “a bit of something,” or everything, depending on what perspective you choose.

May we all choose to see that our family experiences – good, bad, and ugly – all together bend, break and make us the total person we are “as of today,” we will appreciate them more for their “added value” to our lives.

Our bad memories and our bad experiences are what make us who we are and what make us grow and allow us to learn, if we choose to see the lessons in those experiences. – Elijah Wood
