I said I TRIED, and have to admit I don’t often succeed! I just read a devotion in My Daily Bread that said that God wants us to just “keep swimming” as Dori and Nemo do, and not give up trying. It’s the story of my life!

Thanks for the thoughtful post–you and Jennifer of Conversion Diary are my heroes!

If you can truly convert one bad habit to good every year I’d say you’re doing rather well!

I generally start out Lent with too many ideas about how I can improve my spiritual and overall “personhood” and eventually decide I will have to live long enough to convert one bad habit to a good habit every year. Can people actually live to be 200? Sigh!

I always enjoy reading your Daybook! I’ve thought a lot about those ‘five things’ and how they also affect me (and probably all mothers) and how I can improve in each basic category. Thank you for the repitition on that! It makes so much sense!

I LOVE that picture of the girls! I think that Livy looks more like your family, that Molly looks like an Andrews, and that Violet rests somewhere in the middle. It’s a pleasure to see children’s features change over time and to realize that some days their features resemble one parent and a few months later, they’ll look more like the other. I am always fascinated with genes and inheritance.

Hope you have a blessed lenten season!

Thank you, Alexis – and I yours! Funny thing is I keep thinking I need to shorten mine so they are quicker to get through (like yours!).

The personal trainer is part of the fitness program at NI I started. I will have a group session once a week for 14 weeks.

I just love reading your daybooks – mine seems soo short! I too am looking forward to more focus and prayer during this Lent – kinda different with a little one now.

You got a personal trainer – wow! I should do that!! Let me know how it goes!

And love the pic of the girls – will have to show Nate – he thinks all those Andrews girls are super cute!
