Remembering When

Working on the blog book this morning (yes, this is how {far along} ((hehe. Get it? Punny.)) I am on that silly thing. It is taking me F O R E V E R. I don't know if it's my computer, or booksmart/blurb but I click *wait* click *wait* when arranging e v e r y single diggity darn page. Oy. Not good for the blood pressure. Do you like all the [brackets] and (parentheses) and what not? This is super easy to read and follow, I know!) I ran across this picture. Couple it with the cutest ever baby pictures my friend sent me of her scrumptious month old little boy Corban, I'm feeling it again. (I want to capture and kidnap her fuzzy haired wee one. She need not worry, living all the way down in Texas (where the swine flu roams) and all.) Those stinkin no-more baby blues I can not seem to permanently get rid of. Ouch. Will I ever, ever, ever get over it already? I know you're wondering....me too. I do realize how ridiculous these baby pangs are.

Ironically, I am placing this [written by Linda Dillow] up on the fridge today. (And on my bathroom mirror, and in front of the kitchen sink....oh yeah and in the place I fold laundry.)

-Never allow yourself to complain about anything-not even the weather
-Never picture yourself in any other circumstance or someplace else
-Never compare your lot with another's
-Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise
-Never dwell on tomorrow-remember that tomorrow is God's, not ours.

Trying to implement this in our home, starting with MYSELF, numero uno belly-aching, gripe-o-rama whining offender. Incidentally, it was passed along to me by Corban's mommy several years ago. I was quite serious about it for a while. Life changing it was....until I gradually returned to my old, familiar, much easier, less rewarding, non-striving-for-excellence ways.

It is my favorite day of the week, no joke. I am grateful for much this morning. (It doesn't hurt that the weather is fabulous : )

1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
