Tip #3	Forever Young
Since there was such a fun reaction to my last "Tip" post I knew it'd be impossible to top. So here's a simple one for you: join a forum.  I'm a member of not one but two online mom forums and let me tell you, it's been great. Not only is it wonderful to read all the questions and concerns that other moms have - because I have the same ones - but it's also some really good reading during nursing sessions and bouts of baby-sleep-schedule-induced-insomnia.  New moms are some crazy town. It's nice to feel a sense of community.  ~M	Three mile walk with SJ in the stroller Listened to Pandora radio Nice soundtrack to my life Trying to get back into shape A little tougher this time around “Advanced years”, the OB called it Pandora Radio lost connection Nothing but the sound of passing cars SJ sleeps The voices in my head protest “Advanced Schmanced” “I really need to get my house clean?” “Did I finish that report for work?” “Uh oh, who’s picking the kids up from bible study?” “I bet no one fed the dog” “Ahhh is that my shadow? What happened?” Yeah…  it’s a hot mess in there sometimes. Music kicks back in Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” How appropriate "Forever Young" May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you May you always be courageous Stand upright and be strong May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful And may your song always be sung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young      May you stay forever young. ~A
