* D 11 ~  If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes and fly more kites. I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

D16 ~ To my child:
I want to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed being with you these years. As a gift for your life, all
the peace and joy, the freedom from want, but all I have to give you now is the knowing how
very much you are loved in all ways. - Patricia Joy Bearg
