The newborn makes me so alarmed; I was so upset to see that on Facebook. That's the time that a mom needs to reach really deep to find a place of calm and hope. I am learning that my panicking makes a bad situation worse. This post was made optimistically, in the hopes that those feelings go away.Julie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134219384328248188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100496956034260362.post-57905448425983638002010-06-16T00:46:13.775-05:002010-06-16T00:46:13.775-05:00Don't panic but did you hear that 3 of Karen&#...Don't panic but did you hear that 3 of Karen's kids have meningitis? Including the 3-day old baby (he is in the hospital but I saw him tonight and he looks good). Another friend also has it, and we have a few more days to go before we know if Camille is out of the woods. She had a sleepover with 2 of the girls who have it - the very night the first one became ill. PANIC!! Seriously, I also suffer from the "what if" anxiety. I don't know how I'll live with it once Ellie leaves for college.....But I am getting better at "accepting" and that is a huge deal for me. I really don't usually do well with accepting things I cannot change....but am working on it.Carol Pavliskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368979644107669048noreply@blogger.com
