blah

blah.

restless in thought and spirit. many things to do, but in a mode of a cluttered mindset.

taking this moment to scribble into somewhat a sane thought pattern. it is not interesting but interesting that the only certainty in life is death. this string of thought comes from dan's grandfather's recent passing.

in each of us, whether conscious or not, we struggle to organize what we want to accomplish & experience in this short time. some of this of course seem not in our power to make reality. however, many readings and gurus tell us that it is just a mindset. eckhart tolle new earth - awakening your life's purpose ( if you aren't aware i am somewhat of a 'self help' type book junky) advocates this loosely but expands on the 'present moment' being the most valuable where one should be in absolute 'present' in being - mind, body and self. Of course there are all the other theories that which he describes as 'pain body', the ego, the human vs being...etc that have been said, but he does put it in a perspective that is easier for the lay person to comprehend.

it is a mindset that is logical somewhat, but i struggle with 'being' it. i guess that is the eternal struggle in the general.

on another thought - 'the happiest baby on the block' is a helpful book for new and not so new parents, very easy to read, and again, nothing that hasn't been said in more so in the 'olden' days in various writings, sayings etc, but all in one book with update explanations or really some explanation to the 'whys' that these methods seem to work.

the baby signing book is another I'm starting, I've always love languages but am terrible at maintaining them. sign language i believe can be a 'life skill' in many situations or helpful at least. this seems to be a not so new movement offered for a while for babies to help understand and easy the transition to verbal language. I think it will be fun for the girls to learn and develop with their new baby doll.

still struggling with the mess in my brain and the logic:)

as i said it's blah today.
