I have started a secondary blog where I hope to have other authors join me! It's an accountability log for whatever you may need to be held accountable for in 2008. Resolution, commitment, promise - whatever you want to call it. It's just something you want to change in 2008 and need someone else's help in doing so. Check it out, ask to be an author and move your dream along.
Here's to a GREAT 2008 and happy trails for everyone!

Anger Management
Lately, Travis has been on a tear. Nothing seems to make him happy for long. He'll laugh and then turn instantly mad. For no reason. We've been working on trying to get him to curb his anger and think about what upset him and what would be the right response, but it doesn't seem to last long.
We think part of it is Thomas. He knows just how to push Travis' buttons and the second our backs are turned he "attacks". Doesn't really "do" anything like pokle him or really even directly talk to Travis. He just starts saying things under his breath to undermine what Travis was saying, or (and this is bugging EVERYONE) tries to finish EVERYONE'S sentences or say the words with them. Like the "twin-speak" thing, but all.the.time.
I'm of the mind that 1st grade might be the time to separate them, but dad thinks that might still too early. But, if they keep after each other this way, it might be necessary or they won't survive to see 2nd grade! Honestly, I'm just hoping they finish Kindergarten without any major blowups in school.

Moments for Myself - 03 January
Celebrate the good you have done. Remember the time when you were in the right place at the right time and said the right thing? Or made the perfect gesture? Remember the look on the other person's face? Or the sincerity in the note she sent? Whatever it was, take a quiet moment to pat yourself on the back. And keep up the good work.

Moments for Myself - 02 January
I want first of all...to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life... I want, in fact - to borrow from the language of the saints - to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible.

Moments for Myself - 26 December
"Be. Just be. Don't think. Don't do. Just be. Let God fill you with His peace, His love, His plans for you. He will surprise you if you let Him."
