“The love we feel for our children and grandchildren can almost seem overwhelming at times. We worry about them. Feel bad if they do. And we want their lives to be wonderful and trouble-free. It doesn’t always work that way, but I’ve found that trying to be the best person we can be, live the best life we can, and learning to love ourselves enough to be happy with who we are is something we can do to help those we hold so dear. It won’t take away any problems they face, but being an example of self-love shows them it’s possible to be happy with who we are. They will see how being happy with ourselves can sustain us in times when our lives or the lives of those we love are anything but.”
