1. I keep thinking about this quote… I am not sure there has been a more poignant word written. One could elaborate forever – but this summarises – so much.

   1. We’re all connected, right ?

      1. Exactly… a bit lost for words today Don. It happens when I have TOO much on my mind. Carrying the flag of humanities connectedness… takes its toll 😛

      2. No worries for my dearest … you’re mojo return’eth soon’eth I expect’eth 😀

      3. *bows* – as it turns – so it shall 😀

      4. 😀 … looking forward to it !

      5. 😀 ❤

2. I believe my family is my nation and if that nation is in working order then what’s around my family will work for us. You can put a hole in family but you must find a way to also repair it

   1. Well said 😀

3. Sadly as the family has gone so have nations and the world!

   1. 😀

4. They say parents start learning a lot about themselves when they have kids. I believe it is true.
   At the same time, I am surprised by the amount of clichees and perpetuation of old habits.

   1. Yes I’ve heard that too … a friend of mine told me he takes better care of himself, through learning to take care of his son 😀

      Superstitions, where would we be without them ?

      1. Having kids is a way to learn. And not the only one.

      2. 😀

5. Reblogged this on Lillie-Put and commented:
   It is not our governments that will determine the course of our world.

   1. Thanks 😀

      1. 🙂

6. Family is definitely the driving force behind the success of individuals which is the driving force behind the development of nature leading to a successful world!!! 🙂

   1. I love when you define family as a driving force.

   2. Yup, I agree with that sentiment a lot … doesn’t mean individuals can’t make it on their own, but it’s a hell-of-a-lot easier with a good family behind one 😀

7. Great philosophy. If every household moulds and strives to give the best example to her children, the outcome is a better family. It then outflows through to every community, society and finally culminating into a better, model world.

   1. Well it’s a theory, and I think many mums and dads do their best to make it thus 😀

      1. Yeah, most eke it out. Parenting isn’t I walk in the park.

8. Hmm. Lots of food for thought in just a few words.

   1. Very much 😀

      1. Happy new year, Don. Many thanks for all you do, and all the positive energy you put into an often negative world. Be blessed.

      2. Thanks very kind, and much appreciated 😀 … happy new year too 😀

9. Going…going.. going. Sad.

   1. 😀

10. It is sad but true. I did try my best.

    1. Thanks Leslie, you’re a rock 😀

       1. More like -“I rock” ?
          Leslie

       2. More like “I jazz” in your case 😀

       3. Right on!
          Leslie

       4. 😀

11. If it goes like my family then we will be a weird but fun nation

    1. Well I’m hoping it will … anarchy and civil wars don’t sound all that great to me !

       1. Don’t sound too great to me either. Maybe if the weird but fun families can start having more kids we can out number the civil anarchists?

       2. LOL … nice idea … stranger things have been known !

       3. Well I can honestly say I gave it my best shot

       4. Baby steps at world domination … if the world turned out like you, I’m happy enough 😀

12. Oh crap!!!! ….we are in deep trouble if that is true! lol lol lol lol Every family I know is disfunctional…lol including mine!

    1. It’s worrying !

13. Explanation to quote: WE’RE GONNA FRICKEN DIE. EVERYTHING WILL BE GONE

    1. It’s an interesting interpretation, I’ll give you that … outside the box thinking 😀

       1. That’s what it says though!

       2. 😀

14. That is so true Don.

    1. Yup 😀

15. Family is everything – the root of civilization.

    1. Totally 😀
