If I'm not writing well I'm not happy. If I'm not spending enough time with my family I'm not happy. If I'm not connecting to friends or if I don't work out enough... You get the point. Everything has to be balanced. Nothing should be an extreme.

Personally I think four is the perfect number of children for our particular family. Four is enough to create the frenzied cacophony that my husband and I find so joyful.

Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the '90s version of it. Instead of just watching you can do it together... something we don't spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness.

We all wish we could be in more than one place at the same time. People with families feel guilty all the time-if we spend too much time with our family we feel we're not working hard enough.

We were never a family that had a lot. We had enough but not a lot.

I think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build and what can happen to you and your family.

It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal but when you add on some kind of disability or disease it can just be such a burden.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material.

The facts of science are real enough and so are the techniques that scientists use and so are the technologies based on them. But the belief system that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith.

To have faith is to believe in truth believe that truth confers special power on those lucky enough to get a little insight and to know in our hearts that all these things come from God which is why we should never get too cocky about our successes.
