today's chewable vitamin:

both thought provoking and annoying.
if i did one of these today- it would be a good day.

"just for today i will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once. i can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if i felt i had to keep it up for a lifetime.

just for today i will be happy. this assumes to be true what abraham lincoln said, that 'most folks are as happy as they make up thier mind to be.'

just for today i will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. i will take my 'luck' as it comes, and fit myself to it.

just for today i will try to strengthen my mind. i will study. i will learn something useful. i will not be a mental loafer. i will read read something that requires effort, through and concentration.

just for today i will exercise my soul in three ways; i will do someboday a good turn, and not get found out; if anyboday knows of it, it will not count. i will do at least two things i don't want to do- just exercise. i will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today i will not show it.

just for today i will be agreeable . i will look as well as i can, dress becomingly, keep my voice, low, be courteous, criticize not one bit. i won't find fault with anything, not try to improve or regulate anyboday but myself.

just for today i will have a program. i may not follow it exactly, but i will have it. i will save myself from two pest: hurry and indecision.

just for today i will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax. during this half hour, sometime, i will try to get a better perspective of my life.

just for today i will be unafraid. especially i will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as i give to the world, so the world will give to me."

baby



this is a picture of our baby.
it is the best picture ever.

basically, i am pregnant and have energy to work forty five to sixty hours weekly and sleep. that's it. this is what my life consists of right now. apparently it gets a little bit better during pregnancy and then once the baby comes- life never goes back to the previously defined 'normal'. this a a-ok w/ me. although i say that in ignorance. my body shuts down on weekends. i think it (my body) knows that i don't have to do anything- so it goes into a revolt and demands i sleep. it is as if i am a bear in hibernation.

please pray for our wee one and for both charles and i.

i might blog more now that i'm officially public (i'm 13weeks). or i might just sleep. not sure.

bye for now!
