I am having a hard day today. It feels as though I will never get to see a picture of our baby. No news on packages today. Hope to hear something soon. Still hopefull that we will receive our referral next Thursday or Friday. Below is a poem that I keep on my frig to keep me going. Colette
Patience is a hard discipline. It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict.
Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something.
Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are.
When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are.
We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else.
Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand."
--Henri J.M. Nouwen
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break." - Ancient Chinese proverb
Welcome
Welcome to my blog. This is a journal of things in my life during the adoption process. If you want to start at the beginning you need to read backwards. What this means is go to the archives (January 2006) and read through to current time. I enjoy reading your comments, so please post your thoughts for me to read. Colette
