On My Mind

1.  I turn 29 on Wednesday.  I'm okay with this.  I've never been one to care about getting older (we'll see if I'm still whistling this tune next year).  I find that in one crowd I'm old and in another I'm young.  Age is perspective.  I enjoy gaining perspective.

2.  How do you teach manners, discipline, good habits, etc. to a 14 month old?  Modeling the desired behaviors  is all I've really come up with, but that doesn't mean she does them.  And I want to know who around here models grunting, whining, and grabbing?

3.  I've been training for a half marathon in June.  Must stop thinking of myself as a wanna be runner and start thinking of myself as a real runner or I'm never going to make it the 13.1 miles.  I've decided running is a mental game.

4.  The school that I used to teach at just put on a musical.  Just thinking about it and seeing pictures made me really miss my old students and job!  I love being a stay at home mom, but I loved my old job too.  To everything there is a season . . .(turn, turn, turn)

5.  Steady prayer life = steady peace.   How many times in life am I going to need to relearn this lesson?

  1. Happy Birthday Annie! I actually remembered it was your birthday before I remembered that it was Zach's. Oops! I caught up on your blog posts - Monica is such a cutie!
