It was a brisk morning this one of August. No clouds, dew on the car, cold. I woke up early to meet with girlfriends in town, before the world starts to hustle and bustle.

I have a few minutes left on the parking and I decided to take a seat in the sun, right in the center, surrounded by cobble stone streets, and doves, and beautiful buildings. It’s peaceful. I don’t have to Rush anywhere. And I feel that I find myself when I reconnect with these girlfriends in particular.

On an important sise note, I got a call last night from the adoption agency that we need to bring one more notarized declaration nu september 10th. Since a new law was passed, if we don’t do this, our certificate to adopt expires Before We could adopt. On the bright side, the certificate will be valid for two years. We will thus adopt two kids with the same certificate hopefully.

And this morning it occurred to me that I ought to continue to live in the present. Much like we’ve been doing regardless of our circumstances thus far. There is no way around it. Getting ready is an ongoing business.
