Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Wednesday, June 01, 2005

You'll find, as you go through life, that people will give you more advice than you'll know what to do with. Don't tune them out, however. Take their advice, and all the other advice you get, roll it around in your brain, see what makes sense to you, and make your own decisions.

This is especially true when it comes to kids -- people are eager to tell you how to care for your kid. "Keep them wrapped up in lots of warm clothes"; "let them run around naked -- the fresh, cool air is good for them." Listen to them, weight their advice (i.e., your pediatrician probably gives better advice than your mother-in-law), and do what you think best.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
