Quotes can be incredibly powerful. Some of them stick in our brains like glue and completely change the way we think about something. They can also guide our thoughts and direct us in a specific line of thinking.
Family is something every single one of us is blessed to experience in some way, shape, or form. Some families may have a cookie-cutter 2.5 kids and a mom and dad. Some families may be ones we handpick in our adult life. Some families may be a group at a theater or gym we are a part of. Some families may be a single grandparent and yourself. Some families may have fur and a cute little tail. No matter what your family looks like, it is a true blessing.
