Where have I been?
Oh wow you mean it is June? I thought it was still December…just kidding. I cannot believe that I have not written one post since December. I guess I got in the holiday spirit and didn’t get out. The main reason that I have not written is that I am trying to decide if and what I want this blog to be about going forward. I have a wonderful friend ( http://www.lisawhittle.blogspot.com ) that has a clear purpose for her blog and she blogs every Monday morning. I can’t decide if that is where I want to go with this or if I want it to continue to be a plethora of the thoughts that are in my head. So, I thought I would wait and blog when I decided, but I still don’t know.
I do know this. Our family is doing well. Our daughter was a stellar kindergartner and learned more than I could have ever imagined. When she was born premature the doctors prepared us, almost to the point of annoyance, that she could be very delayed in everything. When we started speech therapy, the therapist told us to be prepared for her to be very delayed in reading. Well, they were all wrong! She reads books, chapter books as she calls them, to herself and has an amazing vocabulary. She was by far the strongest reader in her class. Yes I am bragging, because I am so proud of her. She is quite the pistol. As I have mentioned before, she understands that she is adopted, and gains a greater understanding of that all the time. I have some very funny stories and some difficult stories to share in posts in the future. I will say, that I did not think a six year old could have this kind of understanding of adoption or that they would use it as a tool to continually test us!
So, who knows what is ahead for this blog of mine. I may focus on a purpose and then again I may not.
Good to be back and it is good to be reminded to find the silver lining!
