It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny. – Anthony Robbins
I have been reliving memories from the past, not to dwell in the past, but to learn from it. To try and figure out what was my fault, what was gonna happen anyway and how to let it go.
While I always replay events from my past on my High Definition Pensieve, I'm sure a lot of this has been caused by scanning and re-reading all those letters. In order to save time and sanity, I may have to just scan and not read them.
In other news, I'm slowly chipping away at the 300 miles I want to run this year. I ran 4 at lunch on Tuesday, bringing my total up to 254 for the year. I know I could just not run if I really feel like it. There were many years where I was running until December 31 trying to make some arbitrary goal but since my running ability is diminished, I feel like I need to keep fighting.
not sure if i mentioned so I'll write about it here. With our kids we had three battles to win.
pacifiers (pacis)
sleeping in their own beds
potty training.
I knew we were not going to win all three at once. for about six months before their recent birthday, we switched them to pacis only at naptime and bedtime. the week before their birthday we went paci free and they pretty much accepted this without much of a fight.
On the potty training, Natasha is essentially there. For those not in the know, PT has two components: the act and the cleanup. It's gonna be a while before Natasha masters the cleanup but as long as she is going in the potty, we are happy.
Boris can do it but refuses except to stall bedtime or to get attention. Everytime we buy a new box of pull-ups or diaper genie refills we wonder if this will be the last.
On the sleeping in their own bed, we lost some ground. This is probably my fault for letting them sleep with me while NIghtingale's parents were in town using our bed and she was at a conference.

Comments Encouraged! And the nice thing about this blog is that I rarely get spam so don't need to moderate the comments.
I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
