Think about YOUR family. Who do you consider IN or OUT of your family? What are your criteria for thinking about someone as a family member? Must they be a Blood relation? Do you need to have known them for a certain length of time? Are there “rules” for being a family member in good standing? What are they? Have people been kicked out of the family or have they disappeared? Are there honorary family members?
Now consider, what is the “IS” of your family? To discover your family’s “IS” you need to think about it this way:
My family is……….
Now fill in the blanks. List as many “IS” statements about your family as you can think of in the next few minutes. Oh, I’m sorry, you thought this was going to be a little blog you could just read and talk about and not actually have to do anything with? HA! Sorry, that’s not happening. Now, go get a pencil and paper and get writing.

Okay...I've decided I don't feel like getting a paper and pencil so I'm going to answer the questions here instead. Yeah I know the questions your asking are kind of personal, but so what. Nobody knows who I am anyway. And maybe something I write about will insire the next person to do the same. My family is...loving, there for me, a little crazy, judgemental, disfuctional...Hmmm...all I can think of are negative things. But the fact that they are there for me keeps coming up so I guess that's most important.
