My new diet

I am on a stress-free diet.

Absolutely No:

- Quandries

- Crises

- Hitches

- Glitches

- Snafus

- Predicaments

Not even a little pickle.....

But I can have all the chocolate I want! =)

"At least we are dancing"

The other day I was picking up the toyroom/dressing room for the millionth time, and I made the comment to Ed (who was helping me) that so many times it seems like life is 2 steps forward 3 steps back and I absolutely loved his answer. He just smiled and replied "At least we are dancing".

The more I thought about it the more I realized how much truth there was in that. I don't know too much about dancing but I do know that it takes two people and alot of work but can be so much fun. Just like a marriage or a family. It IS a lot of work, but it's alot of fun too and I'm so thankful for my man who constantly makes me see the bright side of everything.

I found a quote not too long ago that I just loved and I scrapbooked it into a frame to remind myself:

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain". Ed's a fantastic "dancer" and he is teaching me to be too.
