A chicken in every pot...

This year has had many ups and downs. Exactly a year ago I was sitting on my sofa typing my New Years Eve Post trying my best to be upbeat. I read it today right before I started typing this one, in so many ways it seems like yesterday and in others it seems like it was decades ago.

I had been distraught because of financial issues that my agency was having. Quite honestly I remember thinking this might be the end of the journey for me. If the agency was going under I would have had to postpone my adoption for at least a year to recoup the money that I would have lost. Luckily, I did not have to do that who would have know that my planned trip to Michigan for a very grim meeting with the agency would have had so many silver linings. I got to meet in person Jolynn and Rich as well as Lori and Kevin. Both couples have become families welcoming a baby boy for Jolynn and a little girl for Lori.

I think the saying 'A chicken in every pot...' really sums up how I have been feeling lately. I am blessed even in my moments of stress I have a little one who reminds me of that everyday. This year is so different then last year in only the best ways. Happy New Year to all,may 2010 bring only joyous surprises and memories to all.
