Family Ties

 

As we continue along the way at Path of Positivity, we are exploring Family Ties.  We are creating projects that show one of our own family connections.  I chose to create a page that actually shows one of the attributes that connects my family rather than showing a connection between two individuals.

I am creating in my journal again for this challenge.  I saw this wonderful quote in the Bugaboo shop called Frame It -Courage... and that, my friends, sums up my family ties!   Yep, we are one tough bunch of characters who constantly battle something or other.  

What ties us together is the courage we all share in doing what we need to do!  This page in my book shows a pic of my horse Jake and me working through some issues with a wonderful trainer.  This is one example of when I was a bit nervous about the experience, but my family all encouraged me just to go and do it!  

In the past couple of years,  I have battled EGPA (Churg Straus), my daughter has gone a round or two with Dermatomyositis, and my mom has taken on cancer!  We've all been tough and shown courage!

My son grew up stumbling through the Autism Spectrum, but he did it with courage and strength!  I could go on and on with examples, but I'm sure you get the idea.  

Yeah, we're all pretty gnarly and courageous!
