Thursday - my busiest day of the week. It is for going in too many directions at once. It is day two of my spring house sitting assignment. It is a friend's birthday. It is for phone calls. It is for asking for help. It is for making sad little girls who miss mommy happy in any way you can...which is hard when that sad little girl doesn't respond to any of the methods you try. It is for frustrations that won't go away no matter how or where you leave them. It is when I learned of a sad death of a baby girl who never lived her life; of the pain of the family who lost her. It is how I remembered the other story I heard: baby whose life was stopped too short. It is for tears. Real tears.
It is a day for waiting; for taking it slow and just for stopping. To look at how things look and how they don't. It is for finding a park bench and a pen and something to write thoughts upon.
It is for praying - more than you thought you could. Always is a day for praying. Not just April the 27th.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
