ZoeJoy You only want to say something to this cheater for your own sake and for the sake of closure. That way, you have said all that you have to say and now, you can move forward and leave this cheater behind you. Waaay behind.

ZoeJoy We can share with our children how to be loving, kind and respectful by our words and our actions. There are so many great places to take kids on vacation. It is great to meet with relatives that you don't see very often. My kids enjoyed their time with...

ZoeJoy If you can afford to travel, I think traveling vacations with children can be a very wonderful and educational experience for children, as well as for parents.

ZoeJoy Yes, family vacations do not have to cost a lot of money. Some of our family reunion picnics were at a park that was very close to where my Grandparents lived. We just had a great time. The park had a swimming pool with a wading pool, so grandkids of all ages...

ZoeJoy I used to love to go to my Grandparents house for a family vacation. They had a big covered veranda and it was just the perfect place for children to play - even when it rained. They lived near the beach, and we would walk to the beach and go swimming and...

ZoeJoy I think that science museums are wonderful. When my kids were younger, there was a small science museum in our town. It had enough activities for them to keep them coming back. My kids never grew tired of going to the science museum. Glad to hear you and...

ZoeJoy Sometimes we do indeed need mentors in our lives - to encourage us and remind us that we can be the best that we can be. Also, it is wonderful to have that inspiration in our lives

ZoeJoy Yes, I have said the exact same thing to my children. Sometimes they really are sick, and really do want to stay in bed. Other times, it is amazing how quickly they are able to recover from their ailments when faced with staying in bed with nothing to do all...

ZoeJoy I think it is important to be as honest as possible. You can say that you are not available or you are busy right now. But I think it is important not to teach children to say even little white lies.

ZoeJoy Finding God in your life really does help. And finding the peace that passes all understanding. When I find God's inner peace, it helps me to find joy.

It is easy to say that you should stay away from people who are always negative but what if they are part of your family? How are you going to deal with them if that is the case? How were you able to fight and control this aspect...

ZoeJoy I agree - we just can't let the negativity get to us. My oldest son has a very stressful job and yet, he has a great sense of humor. And he can 'blow off' people who tick him off. I have learned from him how important it is to not let 'crappy' people get us...

ZoeJoy If a criminal was smart, he would get his mouth shut. Either these men are just spouting off or they are real dumb criminals. Either way, best to stay away from them. Do your shopping during the day, when it is safer.

ZoeJoy Tune in to your body. Your body will let you know when you are thirsty. Just drink water when you are thirsty. If you want to sip the water, you can sip the water. If you want to gulp the water, you can gulp the water. If you want to drink water from a straw,...

ZoeJoy No, don't drink all the water, all at once. Just drink water throughout the day. I don't think it is necessary to drink 8 glasses a day but to drink before you get too thirsty. And only drink water when you are thirsty. Only water will quench your thirst.

ZoeJoy I also pray. Prayer helps me to see the best in the world and to appreciate all that God has created and has to offer to me. Yes, it is important to start each day fresh and new. I am grateful for God's grace, joy, and love.
