Today, we headed to our last adoption class. The focus of this class was on our transition to having an international child. The class was very enjoyable and we had a good group of parents who kept the class lively. Several couples had already been through the process and offered their advice. We both realize that there will be a transitional period with a new child. After this week, I have no doubt that we can meet this challenge.
I also feel amazingly very well. Started my physical therapy and even got on the exercise bike. The pups on the other hand have been (for lack of a better word) a mess. When we arrived home, Trojan was a sick puppy and it didn’t take Mattie long to follow suit. Poor Mike spent last night in triage tending to me and the pups. So, it’s been a little rough in this house hold.
But as Winston Churchill so elegantly said “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” So, which are we, optimist or pessimist? I’ll answer with a Fight On! And yes, our child is going to be a big time USC homer. Is it wrong to teach the fight song before the alphabet? Now there is a question to ask during one of those adoption classes.
