Today, I started a new Twitter list after a previous Dad I’ve interviewed (@danscott77) asked me about PPD dads on Twitter. I realized I was not aware of any dads on Twitter who could offer support. And what better way to reach out to new dads than through Twitter. It’s concise, quick, and community based. (Click here to see the list. By the way, Dan’s awfully lonely there!)
If you’re on twitter, tweet me @unxpctdblessing to let me know you want to be added to the #postpartumdads list. There is an inactive Postpartum Dads Project Twitter account I’m holding off on using until I get a lap top that doesn’t crash at the mere thought of having to open TweetDeck or Seesmic. I’m hoping for new hardware in January or February so keep watching!
And if you’re not familiar with Twitter at all, I apologize for the Twitterese. Really, I do.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely…

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Base flamingo photo by szeke @ flickr
“Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he’s carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he’s carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you’re drunk.”
~Jack Handy*~
*thanks to Kevin Grossman for suggesting we “mix it up” and add some Jack Handy. Brief PSA about the quote though – If you indeed drink enough to see this in real life, please get a friend to drive you home.

Kites rise highest against the wind – not with it.

Our minds are as different as our faces: we are all traveling to one destination;
–happiness; but few are going by the same road.
