It's a truth I just can't get through my head sometimes: Everything doesn't depend on me--and everything doesn't have to happen just the way I planned it. I could save myself a lot of frustration and anger if I could just get a better sense of what I really can control. Julie Ann Barnhill in She's Gonna Blow
This is exactly my struggle. I plan the day around the baby's nap schedule. Baby wakes up too early, takes a morning nap sooner than expected, and sleeps less than usual. Suddenly the whole day is off kilter. It's like setting up the dominoes. One goes down and the rest follow. Julie shares a motto for mothers like me: Let it go. I now have that motto posted on my bulletin board. Let it go. Breathe in. Exhale. The world will go on turning. Struggling with something you can't control? Let it go.
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17

Hi, Heidi!
I just found your blog! Love it. Welcome to Blogger.
Hi to the boys from me and have a great week!
Some gals up here want to start up a book club. I'll email you, but can you outline how to do a book club? Might be an interesting post, eh?
Talk soon, Trish
Hi, Trish. Thanks for visiting. I'd love to talk about setting up a book club. I don't know if we are doing things the 'right' way, but I sure do enjoy it! I'll get something written up for ya.
