"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Emotionally Exhausted




Ok, I just read more hang ups to expect along the way in the adoptions. Will it ever end?? We didn't receive news last night because no one could get through. It wasn't for lack of trying, just no one got through?? Then I read that there are hang ups at the very end, taking months for VISAs to be granted..this is a US issue. I am either really emotionally tired, which I am, or I have run out of patience, which I had little in the first place, or maybe I am just now becoming realistic, which I hope isn't the case. I don't know for sure, except that it is almost a year since I had started this process, and not much closer to home coming for either girl....ok enough whining..I think I am just really emotionally tired and need a break from everything for awhile. So I will just keep pounding my body physically with running and lifting, since I feel strong in that area, and it helps keep my mind off of the process, at least for a little while anyway...

Sorry - adoption shouldn't be so emotionally draining! Hope you get some good news.
