Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.

Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
Love, Lucy (1996)
My ideal of womanhood has always been the pioneer woman who fought and worked at her husband's side. She bore the children, kept the home fires burning; she was the hub of the family, the planner and the dreamer.
Love, Lucy (1996)
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
When you're too mad and too rattled to see straight, you're bound to make mistakes. You can't go on and on for years being miserable about a situation and not have it change you. You get so you can't stand yourself.
Love, Lucy (1996)
I closed my eyes, put blinders on, and ignored what was too painful to think about. I tried to view my troubles less seriously, and worry less. I tried to curb my temper. Things said in embarrassment and anger are seldom the truth, but are said to hurt and wound the other person. Once said, they can never be taken back.
Love, Lucy (1996)
