I keep a daily one sentence journal that circles back to the same page each year. On this October 1st, I have a little breathing room and am inhaling the present, (a baby from our bodies sleeping in just other room, Dan working on a little painting project, me organizing files for a baby from the Dominican Republic), and exhaling all that last Fall held (a third first trimester in 2013, my husband and I working as much as we can to fund our hopes and dreams, and a home study finally complete and sent off to Homeland Security).
Today I write:
Baby sleeping and sitting with the hope of another one on the way. Yes - another one is on the way...soon...in a Biblical sense...which means, any day... in the next two to three years. And so I wonder, what will I be writing next Fall?
What a year it has been; and all our little world rejoices. See? (photo credit: Taylor Casey)
