Positive Qualities: Familial & Pioneering

New reasons, new arguments, new motives . . . all can lead to new goals – new aspirations. — David Brin (1950 – ) Existence, American Author

Even if someone has looked into the unknown before you, each of us is a Pioneer when we look at it for the first time. We find out there is more to discover. The lessons each child is being taught in every family are the same (or similar) to the lessons every other child is being taught. Look at something new, or in a new way, this week. And share it with someone you are Familial with.

Peace,
Jim
