I've tried to capture it on video, but it's so grainy. <br /><br />I am going to have to put some of the other ideas into practice! Like, BOURBON! Tooner, I will have to check out The Work, sounds great.<br /><br />Nisha, congrats on your new job—that's a perfect one for you!!!Ellen Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433429847255621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-84401147149856167462012-01-19T10:12:27.366-05:002012-01-19T10:12:27.366-05:00Oh, I love this post!

But my absolute favorite time of the day is also going in and checking on the boys as they are sleeping. It just melts my heart and I can go to sleep peacefully.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125325586164129119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-37871006028422630592012-01-19T09:44:08.765-05:002012-01-19T09:44:08.765-05:00Bourbon for me!

Plus, my son has a very optimistic spirit and I try to remind myself that he works much harder than me to get through the day.Jacquelinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-48622052931530175102012-01-18T13:49:47.431-05:002012-01-18T13:49:47.431-05:00Have you heard about The Work by Byron Katie??

You ask yourself questions about what you're thinking like "Is it true?, Do I know it's absolutely true?, who would I be if I didn't think that way right now?, etc."<br />My worker is saying also white wine, reading, yoga and writing emails to someone you trust (and knowing they don't have to write you back but they were listening).Toonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035308590730363327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-14207408357459240582012-01-18T12:17:23.386-05:002012-01-18T12:17:23.386-05:00Sneaking into my son's room to watch him sleep...Sneaking into my son's room to watch him sleep and marveling at the innocence in his face.

But, of course, that is easier said than done.<br /><br />My sweet daughter Margo always makes me happy. When I call to check in on her during the day, she always wants to talk to me and she says "Mommy will be home soon" and then she sends me a kiss over the phone. Then, when I get home, I am greeted with a huge smile, hug and kiss, which always seems to almost erase anything bad that may have happened during the day.Aunt Judynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-8060983355624533962012-01-18T10:08:46.151-05:002012-01-18T10:08:46.151-05:00Red wine.

All those Hey Girl posts (Ryan Gosling) pictures always make me laugh.

While on some days it feels like we are never making any progress - we really are, and remembering that helps to get through not-so-good days. Well, that and red wine, of course. ;)Mirihttp://www.herewearetogether.comnoreply@blogger.com
