Good Vibes

I sipped hot chocolate and felt the warmth travel through my body.  It matched the warmth I already felt inside.  Today was a good day.  The kind of December day that really makes you appreciate the subtleties of winter and all it has to offer.    A day of family, of sights and experiences.

This evening I texted Holly and within minutes my phone rang.  She had been thinking of me too.  We had a wonderful conversation about an upcoming doctor's visit and getting to meet her family.  I think it will reassure them and in all likelihood it will reassure us as well.  Baby's arrival is so close now.  It doesn't consume my every thought.  It's just always there in the background...like a soundtrack to our lives.

It's funny.  I guess I thought as this adoption progressed, I'd have more and more to say.  I'd ramble on about my emotions, I'd wax philosophical about my dreams and wishes.  In truth I find that as time goes by, I have less to say.  I simply feel more.  I want to continue writing because so many amazing people are following our journey and offering us support and love.  I don't want anyone to feel left out of this experience.  I guess it comes down to...no news is good news!  And truthfully, lately, our updates have been very positive and we feel extremely optimistic about everything.  I know some folks are probably still concerned that we are too optimistic.  I just ask that they try to understand one irrefutable fact:  We have to remain positive in order to expect positive results.  I mean to me, that really is fact.  We need to feel and express the outcome we truly desire.
