The greatest part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.

Complicated indeed......

More complicated than I thought....the first meaning of that statement had to do with my blog. I had, and still have no idea if this is working as I want it to work. I can barely figure out my MP3 player. I know I can down load music, pictures, videos and e books, yet the only thing I have mastered is turning on the radio. My MP3 player and my blog are as complicated to me as my life.

 I started out my married life thinking it was a breeze. Then of course you have babies who need diapers and bottles and it seems like things are as tough as they can get. You have to buy the things needed for that child and store them and be prepared for when you need them. When my daughter was a year old my husband and I got excited at the thought of "date night." We packed up the diaper bag with diapers and bottles, her blankie, everything for any possible situation that may arise. We got her in her car seat and drove to the next town so she could spend the night with grandma and grandpa. We were excited at the thought of a night out, adult conversation and a little piece of the world we used to have. Imagine my surprise when taking my precious daughter out of her car seat only to find a little bare butt under her beautiful pink dress. All she could do was look at me and smile like the precious angel we knew her to be. Ok, I am guessing it is a common mistake to forget to put a diaper on a baby, people forget everyday, right? We laughed and diapered her and then went on our way. My point is that no matter what situation is in front of you, you must learn to adapt. At some point in my life I think I forgot that little life lesson. Thanks to this blog I remembered that story. Maybe a few more memories will help me to find me again.
