29-Day Giving Challenge

I missed several days of giving when we found out bad news about my pregnancy. There is nothing we can do but have more tests and wait it out. The best way to stay positive and keep my mind happy is through 29 gifts. I am restarting tomorrow.

I looked up the ventricularmegaly;  wow, there is scarey stuff out there about it or it could be very benign. Some suggestions to lift your spirits try listening to some Wayne Dyer or read Pema Chodrin's

When Things Fall Apart.  It is a very short, small book that is wonderful....helped me so much when my universe was caving in and here is a cute anecdote....I gave it to my mom (who has dementia) after my dad died; I put a sticky on it that said, "READ ME FIRST" because she loves books and with the dementia she'll just pick up any old book and read a few pages and then later pick a different book.  So anyway, because of the sticky, she read it from start to finish and loved it.  Then a few months later; she told me she had just read "When Things Fall Apart" and how wonderful it was.  Upon questioning her, it was evident she'd just finished rereading it but thought she was reading it for the first time!  There is a silver lining to dementia I guess...everything is fresh and new!
