Keep on truckin'

At my Grandma's house, in my Dad's old room, there is a poster that as a child gave me and my siblings nightmares... It was a black and white picture of a creeper old grizzled man with a cane walking down a lonely road, that read: "Keep on Truckin"

Unfortunately, I cannot find a picture of it to share with you. There is much we could say about this poster, but we will save that for a later date :)

I will never be able to forget this poster, and the fear it used to strike in me... But now, I think of what it reads. "Keep on Truckin".

While I was looking for a picture of the poster to share, I came across another one of my favorites:





I have often been thinking about that the past few days. Keep Calm and Carry On.

There has been some pretty special, stressful, and scary moments during this pregnancy. Although I have only been on bed rest for 10 weeks, from the very day we discovered I was pregnant, there has been a lot of problems.

I just keep telling myself to Keep Calm, and Carry On.

There is no amount of stress and worry that will fix the situation that I am in. Nothing more that I can do to insure the safe arrival of my Little Man, more than I am already doing.

So instead of freaking out, at every given obstacle, and causing more undue stress, and worry, I choose to Keep On Truckin.

And given the current state of my body, I probably look remarkably as creepy and scary as the old man in the picture :)

  1. LOL that picture used to scare me so bad! It wasn't bad in the daylight, only at night when the moonlight reflected off of it... lol oh dear. I had forgotten that poster :)

    "Keep Calm and Carry On" is one of my favorites, as well :) Do you know the story behind it? Call me and I'll tell you! :)

    I also like "Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake"
