YAY!!!! My first comment!!!!

Someone.... anonymous... was kind enough to leave some feedback and I thought I would share it with you.

From the beginning I said that I welcome comments, emails, and stories.... this blog is not just mine. I wish there was a way to format it so it was more like an interactive website with a place for you all to easily share but being the technological minimalist that I am, I have no idea how to do that!!!!

I figured I would reprint any comments or emails that seemed fitting and applicable to us all and tag them so they're easy to find.

Anonymous' comment was in response to the October post titled "The Two Week Wait".

Hope,

I am also in the waiting game! Every pang in my abdomen or change in breast tenderness gets me hoping and praying this could finally be it. How am I coping (and not driving my hubby crazy analyzing)? Allow one time a day to let your mind go there. Get hopeful, analyze what your body is telling you, and say that extra prayer. Then let it go for the day. If my mind drifts back (which it always does!) I just have to tell myself I've already gone there today, and to find something else to focus on. Sometimes it's easier said than done, especially as each day passes and Aunt Flo isn't here yet. But conceiving shouldn't control our lives or our minds. I'll be praying for you.

Thank you to whoever wrote this!!!! It is wonderful advice and I really hope we can all remember it the next time our minds are overtaken by obsessive or worried thoughts. It is so true- conceiving should not control our lives or minds- and probably truer still is the fact that it is sometimes easier said than done. ;-) I like to think the strong passion and desire to conceive that we have will just fuel us to be the best mama's in the world, when it is finally our turn to have the Lord knit in us!

Thank you Anonymous! For your words and prayers!!!! Feel free to leave other pearls of wisdom....;-)
