Parenthood: 30 Things My Parents Did that Made All the Difference (Part 1)
8) Fun Family Time … Often: The last two points would make it seem that my siblings and I were deprived children who were worked to death. Quite the contrary! We had a ton of fun together as a family growing up. My childhood is filled with wonderful memories of countless family nights of just playing games, drives up the canyon together, BBQ’s in the back yard, yearly vacations, weekend outings, camp-outs on the trampoline outside, and very frequent family nights. As already mentioned, my parents made their children their top priority, and thankfully rather than having the TV be our only entertainment (and babysitter), we often just spent the nights together playing games, laughing, talking, and having fun. 9) My Father Loved My Mother: Never once do I remember my father yelling at my mother. There was always sincere and appropriate affection shown to her verbally, emotionally, and physically – and thankfully, it was often in front of us kids so we knew our dad loved and was committed to our mother. I specifically remember having this enforced to me every meal when my dad would give my mom a kiss after we had a prayer over the meal – a small thing that had a huge impact. 10) They Loved Me Enough to Discipline Me: My parents disciplined me growing up, and I am forever grateful for that. Did I at times resent it growing up? Of course! Did my parents make mistakes in their disciplining efforts? Of course; but as already mentioned, they learned from that and changed. And, did I envy many of my friends who had, what I thought at the time, ‘freedom’ because their parents did not discipline them like mine? Yes.Pages: 1 2 3 [4] 5 6

Windows Server: Configuring as a Ntp Network Time ServerWindows Server: Configuring as a Ntp Network Time ServerAuthor: Richard n Williams Precision and time synchronisation is highly important for modern computer networks, without synchronisation many time sensitive transactions would be impossible to carry out. The internal clock in computers does keep time and date information but these Real Time Chips are not designed to keep perfect time as computers are mass produced and optimized for low cost rather than being perfect clocks. |
The Power Of Mind – Why You Are Going To Achieve The ImpossibleThe Power Of Mind – Why You Are Going To Achieve The ImpossibleAuthor: Odin ChongWhy do we want to achieve the impossible? The reason is simple and it is this – We have only ONE life and we will eventually leave this place or in simplistic terms: We will kick the bucket. Since you have only one life, why not then make it extraordinary rather than lead a plain ordinary life. |
