I have been on this cleaning spree ... since May. It is a slow process, because of my OCD need to re-organize, move, clean, paint, throw out, give away, etc. just about everything. Today, I came across something I had written about my father's family. This was done as an assignment for a Family Therapy class I took in 1989 (BTW, this was probably my favorite class). Sayings from this paper, my father: "I was pressured to excel. I graduated from high school at age 16 and from college at age 20. I always put my efforts into my career and hard work." From my father's father (the successful businessman): "Pay your honest debts even if it takes the shirt off your back." From my father's brother (the jazz musician): "Never say I can't".
