Earlier this evening, Brendan and I were talking about how many changes we've experienced in the last few years. We've also prepared ourselves for big changes, found peace with that change or picture, and then that picture was never painted...on more than occasion! I am struggling with finding a balance between living for today and preparing myself for the future (i.e., appreciating where my life is today instead of obsessing over our adoption!) I tend to draw vivid pictures in my mind or fantasize about how our future will look. You'd think I would have learned by now that it's never the picture I have planned, but apparently not.
And yet, we always said that we were going to go to Africa 2 or 3 years after we got married. Brendan also said that we were going to watch the World Cup. Maybe it is the picture we had in mind, just painted with a different brush.

Change is good, change is different, this change is fantastic! It's so hard to live in the present and not wish away the months and years till your kids come home, so hard not too. But, once they're home, it's not anywhere what you dreamed! Sometimes beyond expectations and sometimes, mmm, I wish I still could have the perfect dream, LOL!
I agree with Rhonda - change is good!!!!
Dreams come true but sometimes how they come true isn't always what we pictured!
Try and live in the now but it is o.k. to dream of the future too ;)
Said me who is living in February 2010 already - it is nice here - I have Ade home here :)
