"....in a healthy family life we experience some of the fundamental elements of peace: justice and love between brothers and sisters, the role of authority expressed by parents, loving concern for the members who are weaker because of youth, sickness or old age, mutual help in the necessities of life, readiness to accept others and, if necessary, to forgive them. For this reason, the family is the first and indispensable teacher of peace."
Pope Benedict XVI

I am thankful to be a part of the McDougall Clan. I pray that all families may experience the "elements of peace, justice and love" that Pope Benedict XVI is talking about in his World Day of Peace message on January 1, 2008. Happy New Year to all.

Also, Happy New Year, Pati!
Oh and one more thing, if you start a new blog for a new word in 2008, please let me know. I just love following the "goings on" in your life!
My intention/word for '08 is "relax" and I can't wait to get started (heh-heh)!
