Never lose your sense of humor. ......if you don't have one, find one quick!

Smile. Make it a habit. And give one away every chance you get. 

Don't stay mad at one another! Families are big like they used to be and the closeness that once was common place has been replaced with distance and crazy busy lives. 

Make it a priority to get together! Continue to get to know one another as you grow into adulthood. 

Traditions....keep 'em, adopt them, make your own and enjoy them. They'll keep you connected to your family, past, present & future.

Forgive & move on. You'll be hard pressed to forget somethings but the healthiest thing you can do for yourself when you feel as though you've been wronged is to Forgive. Give it to God & be on your way. 

 Admit when you're wrong and ask for forgiveness when necessary. 

Stay in touch with one another. God and family! Stay in touch with both! 

Laugh ....daily, and often.
