There are some things we can plan and prepare for, but an early baby is rarely one of them.

My 2nd grandchild was born last week. He came with a few deficits. (1) He was born a month early and (2) he weighed in at only 6 pounds.

He made up for those deficits by (1) having loads of beautiful black hair, (2) lots of bruising due to being lodged in the birth canal for 5 days, and (3) an extra finger on his right hand. (This will be removed easily and he will have a cool scar to make his birth day story believable.)

I spent last week showing my love for him, his big brother, and his parents by caring for them in their home. What a joy it was to watch this sweet family support one another and help them organize their home and do some early spring cleaning. Boy, I was shocked at how much time caring for a baby takes.

How lucky this little boy is to have so many people surrounding him that love him deeply. Happy Birthday wonderful little Jace!

Are you moving forward or slipping backward in life? This past week my car’s odometer moved to 100,000 miles. Watching this movement made me realize again that we are either moving forward or backward continuously. 

   My husband and I  were going to dinner and the theater with his mother and sister and we each made sure we had clear view as the odometer ever so slowly moved from 99,999 to one-hundred thousand miles. In fact we kept watching as it moved forward to 100,001… another milestone. 

How is your movement coming in better organizing your paper, space, time or self? Are you progressing forward or slipping further into chaos and discouragement? Don’t become disheartened. Putting your things or life in order is freeing and calming!
