Have I shown them enough color? Did I let them have enough ice cream and leave them alone enough without my anxieties? How can we know which is the right way? We have to go with our inner instincts and the feeling in our bones. But I can contribute to their growing cells, show them some foods that are better than others, walk with them, and encourage their own tastes. I can teach them to love and appreciate food, help them treat their bodies like gold, listen to them wanting more or less. The rest I have to trust. </blockquote><p class='leftside'> Family Quotes And Sayings by Tessa Kiros, Apples for Jam: A Colorful Cookbook</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09393045615702761306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415473947269866904.post-58602652564184727322014-03-12T06:44:00.003-07:002014-03-12T06:44:45.885-07:00Sara Sheridan<blockquote> <p> It is through our extended family that we first learn to compromise and come to an understanding that even if we don't always agree about things we can still love and look out for each other. </p> </blockquote> <p class="leftside"> Family Quotes And Sayings by Sara Sheridan</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09393045615702761306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415473947269866904.post-28980572930993757762014-03-12T06:44:00.001-07:002014-03-12T06:44:02.976-07:00Pat Conroy<blockquote> <p> In family matters you can get over anything.
