thankyou 26malik, drbin, tolito and dipti..
Yesterday April 22nd, what I did?
Nothing, not even a single page with respect to my studies. Woke up late as usual, because of morning dizziness,later had appointmnet with a doctor and he did TVS.
Oh My,that experience of, having the very first sight of my little one, the part and parcel of my very own, its little heart beat beating along with mine....made my vision blurred filled with tears as I stared at the monitor, sowas my husbands as he held my hand tight. It was a very beautiful moment to cherish for us and the very first time I truly started believeing someone is really is there inside me!
later went for shopping, then had guests in the evening for sleepover,hence cleaned house, served dinner, oh my when I hit the bes it was 1:00am!
I could not even spent few moments to peep thru my internet yesterday..so goes my Friday filled with all prayers and Thanks for the small miracle he has done for us..leaving myself with content and peace, hence my million and trillion thanks to my ever merciful God!
So also said my Daily motivator yesterday:
Friday,April 21st,2006
Fina a way to be thankful!
In every challenging situation, there is something for which to be thankful. Find it, and you're well on your way to getting successfully through the challenge.
It may seem strange to express gratitude while in the midst of trouble and difficulty. Yet that gratitude can help to shine a positive, empowering light on any situation.
If you allow yourself to be overwhelmed with negativity, all you can see are the problems. When you choose instead to find something for which to be thankful, you start to see the all the many good and positive resources available to you.
In the most difficult situations you can often find the most valuable opportunities. Gratitude will open your eyes to those opportunities.
Always, there is a positive aspect to be found. Always, there is something for which you can be genuinely thankful.
And the more challenging the situation, the more essential it is to have something positive to hold on to. Find something real to be thankful for, and you'll find yourself moving forward.
-- Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/
So, this was so true in my case, yesterday was the day of saying thanks in different ways for different things, God has bestowed in my life..Thank U God

Same time Im doing baby sitting, their toddler..I was thinking to finish some good amount of pages of Physio today, but dont know how much I can do..will see, try my best to do atleast behavioural science if not physio or even revise the finished subjects if thats not possible, lets see..
My Daily motivator for today:
Saturday April 22nd 2006
What's the rush?
Life has its own certain rhythm and pace. When you attempt to outrun it, you miss it.
Making life faster does nothing to make it better. Today is plenty and right now is always enough.
Tomorrow will come in good time, and there's nothing to be gained by rushing to get to it ahead of time. Instead, live fully the depth and richness of this day, of this moment.
Take each opportunity as it comes to enjoy and fulfill the beauty of what is. There is something wondrous and valuable in every direction you look.
It makes no sense to put all your energy into jumping ahead of yourself. For life's treasures are all here in this moment right now.
Choose to live your life at the pace that it comes to you. And its many treasures will surely be yours.
-- Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/motivate/index.html
Thsi is so true in my case..so will I take teh same way, how muchever I can, however I can..will see how much I can do today..have a great and wonderful day and weekend friends..

thank u fruit..how are you doing nowadays?? I am sorry, I am not getting time to even read thru ur diaries, to know how u all are doing..all my time I spent every hour or so in the washroom..how time changes..its really surprises me!
Yeah..4mymd, how are you doing? what gift is it? I will look at it now..did u finish all ur classes??
Dipti dear..I am here, just logged in, after having a long sleep since morning,..yesterday whole night kind of struggled with constipation..very uneasy..later atlast felt okie in the morning, then slept again. I did not know how much even a small work makes u feel so tierd, once all my guests left yesterday, I just could not do anything other than sleeping....
I am really getting scared now..in total 3 and half days..I have not touched my books, feels like its almost a month, this gap makes me still lazy to start, my lazy mind is laughing at me, very hard to push myself..I dont know how will I continue my studies..
God please help,I cant keep sleeping and worrying, sometimes I feel good and sometime I feel very very down..this mood variation is common I think! But cant even exercise vigourously now..all I can have light walk in the evening..oh My, so much of change in my physic, psychic, energy....
God..I know I am late, but still I think I have one more opportunity before my baby comes..please help, I need you more than anything now!
Friends, whoever has yet to go thru this stage..please hurry up, you have all energy, you have all the time..please make use of it...do not waste time, you never know when things changes, good day friends!

Where Success Goes
Success does not necessarily go to the person who has the most elaborate plan. Success goes to the person who takes a plan and puts it into action.
Success does not usually go to the person who can take a few noisy, impressive strides. Success goes more often to the person who steadily puts one foot in front of the other.
Success doesn't automatically go to the person who starts out with the most resources. Success goes to the person who makes the best use of whatever is available.
Success goes not to the person who makes the biggest promises. Success goes to the person who reliably follows through on promises.
Today is your opportunity to put your plans into action. Today is filled with moments in which you can put one foot in front of the other and move steadily forward.
Today you have the chance to follow through on the things you have promised, and to make the most of the good things that are available to you. Use today wisely, and success is yours.
-- Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/
Have a very successful day friends...

Hodgkins,
I am glad you like papi's picture, one of you gave me the idea of taking his pictures at the lecture, so i did it, I really wasn't planning to do it though ......... I see you start Physio, good luck, this is a very important subject, as well as all of them jeje but I see Physio and Biochem the base for the rest, but I know we have to nail every subject right?
Wish you good luck today to accomplish all your daily goals.
PD: the great motivators are cool!
Keep in touch,.

Value added
Anything worth accomplishing is going to take some long, difficult and sustained effort to reach. Yet even though the goal may be a long way off, the benefits of working toward that goal begin to be yours immediately.
For the value of accomplishment is in the accomplishing. The reward is not so much in what you obtain as in the person you become in the process of obtaining it.
No matter how difficult the journey may be, it makes all the difference in the world when that journey is leading to a destination you have chosen. By setting your sights upon where you intend to be and by committing yourself to following that path, you immediately add value to life.
The commitment, the discipline, the focus and the effort are indeed their own rewards. And they begin to be yours the moment you decide to begin.
Though at first you may wish you could reach the goal without having to work your way past the challenges, you'll soon realize that such a thing would be worthless. For it is precisely the value you put into any accomplishment that gives it value to you.
Make the most of every opportunity to give your best effort to life. And you'll find yourself surrounded by real, lasting value.
Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/motivate/index.html
Have a wonderful day friends..yes it is all worth of going thru, all the hardship we are going thru..but still we can do this, yes we can

Today morning woke up late, tried to wake up many times, but again get back to the bed , got up again and again and when I finally pushed out myself it was 12:00, finished all daily rituals..I am here..

Outside the walls
You are capable of many wonderful things that you do not even know about. Decide to start discovering some of them.
Outside the walls of your imagined limitations, there is a whole world waiting to be experienced. Allow yourself to venture into it.
There is so very much you can do when you stop being so consumed with what you can't do. There are so many opportunities and possibilities to explore when you stop worrying about your shortcomings and disappointments.
Let go of the small, limiting thoughts that revolve only around your ego. Make room for the big, expansive thoughts that enable you to experience life's magnificent abundance.
There is so very much you can do, so very much you can be, so very much you can give. Choose to open yourself to the wealth of possibilities.
Step outside the walls of your old assumptions. And take life to a whole new level.
-- Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/
Hope we all can do, much more than what we think we can do..have a very productive day friends

Thank u female doc ny for your prayers! I need them the most than ever now!
what I did Yseterday April 26th Wednesday?
Started with Section II Physio..in between got irritated with Nernest equation, again kind of worrying in between, can I finish this task at this time, well said my prayers, seeing my thoughts, I just told to myself " concentrate one at a time, try to learn and enjoy, beling pregnant as well as a Doctor, do not keep any goals either, just keep doing how much ever u can, otherwise u get tensed, if u r tensed then, nothing will move forward, and what u studied I doubt you remember well after, so what is the point worrying future, just concentrate now, the page , the sentence you are reading and understand the concepts..on and on" I kept on saying myself, I think that worked
I finished my Section II, with questions and explanations. thern Did FA extra 10 pages, same time reviewed the earlier read pages!
Today Section III, god willing and few pages of FA, that should be good, in between few questions!

The power of Enjoyment
Enjoyment adds power and effectiveness to whatever you're doing. When you're enjoying life, you're functioning at your highest level.
But what if you must do something that you don't enjoy? Choose to enjoy yourself anyway.
Enjoyment depends more on your attitude than on your surroundings. To enjoy yourself, you don't need anything other than the will to do so.
After all, the outer details of life are not nearly the whole picture. Your inner thoughts are what ultimately control whether or not you're enjoying yourself.
So choose to bring the power of enjoyment to all areas of your life. You'll be more creative, more pleasant to be around, more positive and more resourceful when you're enjoying life.
Wherever you may find yourself, whatever you may be doing, find some aspect of it to value and appreciate and enjoy. And enjoy what a powerful positive difference it can make.
-- Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/motivate/index.html
Have a very great day friends...
