Long Wait

It has been a while since we last posted. We have been just trying to patiently wait. It is hard. It is 5 months since our dossier was registered in Ethiopia. We were originally told 4 months but now it is more like 6 or 7 due to changes and court delays (their courts close for the "rainy" season and reopen on October 1st). So we are hoping the we get news after the 1st of October. It will be tough to go through another Christmas without at least a photo.

Not only is a new world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.

Gratitude


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos into order,

confusion into clarity....

It turns problems into gifts,

failures into success,

the unexpected into perfect timing,

and mistakes into important events.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today

and creates a vision for tomorrow.
