I just finished reading The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. What an interesting book (I had read it years ago, but decided to reread it.) She had some great insight for a young girl. Here is the quote that I loved from the book.
"Riches, prestige, everything can be lost. But the happiness in your own heart can only be dimmed; it will always be there, as long as you live, to make you happy again."

| Thomas, trying to wish away the days until he was as old and cool as his 3-year-old brother who gets to sit on that cool little chair and go "potty." |
So, today I will be happy. Today I will live in the moment. I won't wish today away, because TODAY is the day that I get to have William be 3 1/2 years old and Thomas 18 months old, and Mike still in love with me (luckily!) and well, if I start wishing all the days away, there will be NO happiness EVER and misery will overcome me.
I am wishing you a HAPPY day today and like Anne Frank, I hope your happiness that has been dimmed by something in your life will be reignited today. Happy Friday!

Judes, I think you're right that we wish the days away. I also think that if we aren't careful, the days will slip away from us without us even knowing. I have been trying so hard to savor each moment I have with our new baby because it will be a while until I have my own newborn again. Thanks for the reminder to enjoy every moment while I have it.
