Today is one of those autumn days that seem like something right out of a Rockwell painting. Azure skies, brilliant sunshine and copper leaves. We walked through a local fall festival and enjoyed fresh apple cider. I stopped to take a few photos and then stood still for a moment, savoring the morning air. I felt nothing short of happy.
Why does happiness seem so elusive? Is it the adage of chasing something and never quite catching up to it? Or is it that we ignore what should make us happy by instead desiring what could make us happy?
I think we need to stick to our goals, move forward with as much momentum as possible, and in the interim embrace every tiny detail. I can't count the times I've been worried about X and then X either didn't happen when I was afraid it would, did happen when I was sure it wouldn't, or was ten times easier than I anticipated.
I am doing my best to acknowledge all the blessings I have, from the smallest to the greatest.
Very hopeful we will hear more next week about our birth mother.
Happy fall!
