I'm dragging on my question responses (and please, anybody who is reading feel free to add more questions in comments any day. This is fun, even if I am dragging, makes me think.

Ruth asked What lessons did your daughters learn from you that you are proud of passing on?

Pay attention. Reverse roles. Look at everything from every possible angle and assume you've missed an angle or ten. Learn to learn. Love to love. Give to give. All you know you have is now so live each moment well. Be kind. Question assumptions. Take care of innocents. Dance. There is know one right way to do anything. Listen to your intuition. Real is better than perfect. Choose love not ego. My power to do good and my power to do harm are equal, the difference is choice. No matter what happens to me, no matter how much it hurts, I can convert the energy of the pain to something good and useful.
