Flexibility is the key to happiness

I’ve discovered lately that flexibility is truely the key to happiness. If you want everything done your way and you’re not willing to change your mind, you’re going to be miserable.

I’ve learned this first hand a lot lately. The main thing I am learning to be flexible about should be obvious - when this baby is going to come! I’m starting to understand that I have to go by God’s timing, not my own. It’s easy to see someone else going through it and tell them that, but when it’s you going through it, it’s way harder to see!

Alright, I now vow to stop complaining about being big and huge and accept that this baby is going to come when God chooses, instead of when I want it! (And I’m sure all of you in blogland are sick of hearing about it!)

    Aha … the key to happiness … where was this post when i went searching? Happiness can also be a decision. Deciding to be flexible, which eventualy leads to happiness; see where i’m going?? Happiness starts with a decesion. :)

    well, i dont mind hearing your complaints, actually, i look forward to them :) It makes me feel like what i feel is normal, and wanting the baby to come every second of every minuet of everyday is ok. But, the last few days i have realized something: Although i am excited about the baby, it really is nice to be able to lay on the couch when i want…sleep when i want (and when i can) and be able to still have a “semi-normal” life.. ill leave those little bits of wisdom with you for next time :)…but, i guess im having a good day, and tomorrow i may very well post a “big complainer” or a blog post…anyways, i think this is the longest comment in blogger history..you should feel lucky :) Well Jen, so long as you know you are not along in feeling this way then its all good. One other bright note..even though its only one day..you are still due before me :)
