The last time I posted my daughter was seven months old. In less than three weeks she will be TWO. That's 711 days. Where did time go? I find myself saying that a lot lately. In regards to a lot of things. I don't have time to make any of the doctor's appointments that I need, which total between 3-4, depending on if its time for my eye check. I don't have time to remember to check if I need to see them yet. I probably don't have time to revive this blog...
This post is not about missing time, oddly enough. I actually don't have a topic for this post except that something has been nagging at me to revive my blog. Part of me thinks its because I have been bookmarking and reading a lot of adoption blogs lately. I really like reading blogs and learning about other people's experiences and opinions. I feel encouraged and enlightened and a little less alone when I read about other people's adoption stories. I like to think that people reading my blog might feel the same way. That maybe something I said comforted someone, letting them know they're normal and also not alone. I truly hope that some of my posts will be seen by mothers-in-wait, whose hearts are broken and adoption hopes are floundering, and they just don't know what's next or how to get there. I hope that they will be comforted by the fact that someone else has walked in their very shoes; been there, done that sister.
I've also been thinking about using my blog to update about Stella. I write to her in a journal that I hope to give her someday but I think I would like to write about her here. I have hardly a thing from my own childhood. (I do have my memories. I remember jumping off a trunk in my Meme's living room, truly believing I could fly off of it if I just jumped one more time...) I love history and reading other people's stories and I would love for Stella to have this available to her if she's into it too.
So I guess the topic of my post is that I'm reviving my blog and I'll write about whatever I want!
