To Complain Or Not Complain


1. Allow thyself to complain of nothing, not even the weather.

2. Never picture thyself to thyself under any circumstances which you art not.

3. Never compare thine own lot with that of another.

4. Never allow thyself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been or were otherwise than it was.

5. Never dwell on the morrow. It is God's, not thine.

I have found that it is very easy to complain about health, weather, others, our lot, our house, our car, our pets, our family, our hair, our shoes, our everything.
Take the challenge........catch yourself before you start to go on and on and on about how you're feeling, your lot in life, and everything else.
Replace it with a smile, do it whether you feel like it or not and you might just like it better than filling people in with the horrid details of your life.
You will be surprised at how this is not as easy as it sounds. We are so used to ......uh......being human.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
