I never knew I could second guess so many things: what I eat, what is in foods – should I eat it – should I feed it to my daughter???  Could there be more problems in the future?  Should I have the genetic testing done?  What do I do for my daughter if it comes back positive in the genetic testing?

All of the above questions make me think – BREATHE – JUST BREATHE.  It is good to second guess things.  That means you are thinking about what is happening in your life, not just letting life happen to you.  I am also realizing as I second guess different parts of life I have to take a calm, thoughtful approach to how to handle each question or situation.  One of my favorite sayings is No Mud, No Lotus…you can’t have the good without it being a bit messy.  So I am going to wade, wallow or even sink into the mud knowing that if I can get through the mud there will be something beautiful at the end.  I am learning to embrace the small moments…they are TRULY the big moments in life.

The little things (small moments): my daughters laughter and silliness, a good song, a cup of warm coffee, laughing with friends, my students silly ideas and hard work…these are just a few of the many good things in my life!

So my friends second guess away.  Then  just breathe and enjoy the little things.
