Meeting

Tomorrow and Friday Russian and a US official have a meeting to discuss adoptions. This has been on my mind and can bet many others are thinking about these days. It seems things for single women who are adopting are becoming very tough. I pray that we are still able to!! I hope clear heads prevail so the many children have a shot at a family.


Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible for you to do.
~Pope John XXIII

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all.
~Emily Dickinson

If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.
~Thomas Fuller

The future depends on what we do in the present.
~ Mahatma Gandhi

If we would see the color of our future, we must look for it in our present; if we would gaze on the star of our destiny, we must look for it in our hearts.
~Canon Farrar

Life can be a challenge. Yet if we view those challenges as stepping stones to where we want to go, they actually contribute to our growth.
