This is your life...

I love this song...the melody is beautiful and the words are something to really think on...

This Is Your Life by Switchfoot
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

This is your life and today is all you've got now
And today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life
Is it everything you've dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life is it everything you've dreamed it would be when the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

I think of my father who lies dying....he is scared to close his eyes because it could be the last time...his days are short, his days are numbered....when his last one is only God knows. For the rest of us we wait and wonder when he will be taken home, and I ponder my life and wonder if I am living each day as I should...wondering, am I who I want to be, is my life everything I've dreamed it would be.

I am working hard at building up my childbirth classes and it's happening! I have 6 women registered for March classes, and about 5 others interested. I have 2 locations that I will teach at, holding two simultaneous classes weekly. I hope to start doing monthly healthy pregnancy classes in a month or so, and then start taking on doula clients again. The doors are opening and it's thrilling to be doing what I'm called to do.

I'm also excited to be able to attend the Midwifery Today conference in Eugene, OR this year! Yippee!! I'm going to room with a woman I have been emailing with who was going to attend the midwifery school I am enrolled in. It will be so uplifting to be surrounded by all these wonderful midwives and birth speakers...I think I will come home refreshed and ready to take on the world.
