A good friend of mine sent me this and thought I would share:
Take a 20-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
Sit in silence for at least 20 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life.
When you wake up in the morning...
Today is a very special day today because it would have been the 65th birthday (if I did my math correct) of Lucas’ nanny, Deanna. I’m sad that she never got to meet him because I think she would have adored him. I’m sad that Jeff and Missy are probably both having a sad day...
… or maybe eat them? Either way, most days when I am keeping him all day, Lucas will stroll to his book basket and bring me book after book after book after book. It’s really hilarious. He likes to turn the pages and will stay interested in one whole book… which I must admit amazes...
Lucas never ceases to amaze me with his development of personality. I am constantly looking at him, evaluating him, and trying to figure out… who does he more favor in looks and personality: Jeff or me? He’s such a nice combination of both so far. He has his Daddy’s bottom lip and my upper lip. ...
Lucas is walking everywhere, and his curiosity takes him to every single nook and cranny in this house. He finds things I didn’t pick up with the vaccuum. He finds things I’ve lost. I thought today that I’d share his feet with the world. There’s something special about baby feet.
Running is becoming quite fun again. I did the Music Row Road Race yesterday and forgot to check out the time as I crossed the finish line.

I’m not getting paid to say this. Wait. Maybe I should get paid! (just kidding) Jeff and I have been on Weight Watchers since January, and of course in typical male-fashion, Jeff lost 10 lbs the first week while I just lost 5 lbs. I know, 5 lbs is a lot! But week after week after...
I would relive the last year in a heartbeat. This is what I learned, or at least a part of what I learned. If I had to go back and tell myself any advice, it would be this:
1. Get ready to be sleep deprived. Yes, you are sleep deprived in the...
I subscribe to Rick Warren’s daily devotional, which I love. Most of the time I sign up for these things, I eventually unsubscribe. I haven’t his yet over the past year because they are usually so insightful and helpful. I loved this one:
Surrender: Let Go and Let God Work by Rick Warren

My mother enrolled me in piano lessons when I was four years old with a wonderful lady named Jan Smith. I’ve recently been trying to find her to just reach out and call and let her know how things are going as it’s been many, many years since I have heard from her. ...
