The choices we make as to how we deal with our problems largely determine our happiness or unhappiness.  No matter how devastating our circumstances, we can still choose how we think and how we perceive life.  Included in the lesson on responsibility is Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous quote, “No one can offend me without my permission.”  We can choose how we react to our circumstances, our environment, and the people around us.  Choice is powerful and truly a gift.  Even as I write that statement I fully understand that many, many choices in our lives are beyond our control.  However, the choice of attitude is always ours.

6 Ideas for dealing with problems:

1. Focus on the positive
2. Stay flexible.  
3. Maintain open channels of communication 
4. Pull together as family
5. Draw on spiritual resources. 
6. Seek help outside the family.
