Serious Attitude Adjustment

Okay--I have had some time to breath. Did a little yoga and ate a fabulous piece of cake. I apologize for how ridiculously selfish my last post was. I needed to vent and vent I did.

I need to spend some more time reflecting on and being grateful for the blessings in my life. I am very blessed with a wonderful husband, amazing family, 2 really cute pugs and an beautiful little girl who just happens to be in Ethiopia. I have my health, a home, a job, a car and can type this on my laptop. My life ain't that bad and I need to appreciate that and stop complaining.

Things are what they are. I can't control everything as much as I would want to anyway and I just need to deal with it. If I do get delayed there is a reason and I will be with my baby girl when I am supposed to. I have been ye of little faith which is unlike me.

Faith has gotten me this far and now more than ever I shouldn't turn my back on that.

It's okay... you're allowed to vent! You're going through one of the single biggest stressors there is!

I, too , think it's ok and natural to have your feelings of disappointment, anger, sadness, moments of actaul DESPAIR even! someone just told you that you had to wait even longer to be with your daughter! What mom wouldn't have those feelings?? You'd be WEIRD if you didn't have those feelings ;-)
Sigh. My mom just met my daughter.... she is perfect.
