A friend of mine sent me this cute cute cute picture of Peter. We were in Philadelphia with my buddies, Becca, Becky, and Katie. The girls came to visit me last week and we had a great time. We went to the Shore, spent time in Philly then left the babies with Matt and saw Mamma Mia. More details to follow. I love this picture! He is getting so big and strong!
Speaking of big and strong so am I. I read a quote the other day in a book I am reading called "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle (many of you have most likely heard of it due to Oprah's obcession with it)
"Life isn't as serious as my mind makes it out to be"
Think about that for a second. It is so true! How many times do we blow things out of proportion because we allow our minds to replay events over and over again. I did this a lot when I was in the dating phase of my life. "What did he mean by that" I always wanted to know.It almost drove me crazy! When I began to relax my mind and let it calm down then my life actually began to happen.
As I am healing my creative spirit and I am learning to control my mind I am gaining power and strength. For when I control my mind I can have control over how I react to everything in my life.
I have been doing very well with the challenge. I write everyday. I begin my day with a nice long walk with Pete and some gratitude filled affermations, well, I try to. I did have a very negative patch of time during the weekend but I am moving forward and feeling better. I am finding that when I am negative it affects not only me but those around me. I tend to pull Matt into it as well and he doesn't need to feel negative. He is trying also to become a more optimistic person. So how I feel affects more than just me. I need to have more control over my mind to help my family achieve our collective dream.
I am feeling more grateful and more optimistic that this is going to help my dreams come true. On ward!

It is important to stay positive! I love that picture of Pete. What a beautiful boy!
Little peanut butter sandwich is so cute! I just want to give him a big kiss when I look at that picture. By the way Kris, you are one of the most positive people I know and when I am around you I always get to feeling the sunshine of life :)
You go Kristin! I definitely need to take your advice and have more positive affirmations. I spend so much of my time beating myself up. So hard to stop doing that as it comes automatically.
I loved our trip up there, and the most recent visit we had the other weekend. We love you guys mucho and always enjoy seeing you, Matt, and Pete!
