I've been feeling anxious lately about the adoption. I think it's because nothing is happening right now -- no feeling like we're moving forward and accomplishing something which is how I felt during the paperwork. We're just waiting. And a little bit of uncertainty - like it might never happen - is beginning to creep into my thoughts. Which brings me back to a class I took on stress reduction and relaxation. The entire focus of the class was to wake up to the present moment, to get beyond your thoughts; to acknowledge them, but not give so much power to them. It's quite simple, but as any worrier knows, not easy. Anyway, I heard about this book of 6 word autobiographies and it caught my interest. My life in 6 words?
Always waiting for the next thing.
Right now it's the adoption, but it's always something: my first job, summer break, marriage, having a baby, getting the remodel done, going to Hawaii...etc. But I don't think it's just me. Doesn't everyone wait for the next thing? Don't you?
