Every cloud has a silver lining, they say. I'm a personal believer in optimism. . . if you can't find the silver lining, you're just looking at the cloud from the wrong direction!

Learning Old Lessons Anew
I'm a bit of a control freak. Not much, mind you, but just enough that I like to know what's going on, even if I can't really control what's going on. And when I can control what's going on -- or think I can -- then I'm really a control freak. That's how I've been with Maddie this last week. I keep trying to get her into a routine and she keeps being uncooperative. The result -- I stress myself out and make Angie and Miguel miserable in the process. I remember when Angie was a baby that I had similar issues, although more with getting work accomplished and her not letting me. The solution? Relax. Calm down. Go with the flow. It will all work itself out and you'll be happier and stress free. Yeah. That's what I did today and we've all had a fine time. Now, if I can just remember this and keep doing more of the same!
