Saying that today is "cold" is an understatement, and doesn't do Mother Nature justice. It's DARN cold! That's not even strong enough, but I'm trying to scale down my use of vulgar language with a new set of innocent ears joining our family soon. ha. The wind-chill warnings today are estimated to be around -50 degrees.... and to think it was reaching close to 40 degrees ABOVE zero just a day or two ago... that's almost a 90 degree drop in temperature... only in North Dakota!
Our adoption adventure continues to progress, and with every passing day in this process, we are less and less concerned about any obstacles or trouble spots in this journey. We look forward to Noah's arrival with endless anticipation and joy of for the upcoming birth! We continue to complete the necessary paperwork and forms that both states have required of us (Both ND and MN). I almost feel compelled to plant a tree this spring, to replenish the mass amount of paper we've used up in this ongoing process. haha. I know it's all for an amazing outcome in the end, and therefore it's all worthwhile. I have learned a lot, however, during this process... a lot about our social services system, a lot about being patient, and a lot about the human spirit & endurance.
The overwhelming theme of my experience thus far, is that life is a grand adventure, and we should soak it all in as much as possible! We might miss something amazing, if we train our eyes too strictly on the goals we've set before us, and don't allow for peripheral vision to expand our opportunities and enhance our lives.
May you always be aware of your peripheral vision, and if you catch a glimpse of something breathtaking, pause your life, to gaze upon its beauty, and drink in all that is offered... you might find yourself amazed and freshly blessed.
