I took a month off from blogging. I took a month to cut way back on social media. The apps are removed from the cell phone and tablet. I can only take a look from the laptop in the mornings.
I found out several things during this mini break. One is that I had more time to read. Another is I have a better attention span. I also joined the church choir. I'm taking time to rest.
Glad to hear you are implementing changes and doing well.
Charity no trophies, yet, but my son's Special Olympics softball team, which I'm coaching, is going for the gold medal this weekend at the SO State softball tournament.
But what I really wanted to pass along was what has happened in my life since your last Wonder Report. I have had two new granddaughters arrive over the course of a three week period in late July - early August. One born to my son and his wife, and the other adopted by my daughter and her husband. The adoption process took 2 1/2 years and included three matches with my daughter where the birth mother changed her mind and decided not to give the child up for adoption. The last one occurred in July one day before the baby was to be born. Although thankful that the mother wanted to keep the child, the emotional ups and downs for my daughter and her husband were difficult. But as we all prayed .... God had plan. After the last adoption fell through, my daughter's name went back on the list of available couples looking to adopt. The day following them placing their name back on the list, they received a call that there was a baby that had just been born. A child born on the day that they had been told by the most recent mother that she had decided to keep her baby. Seven days later my daughter and her husband brought home the baby that was meant for them. Maya Catherine b. 7-12-22.
Glad you are back!
I too have written those letters to my son in boot camp almost four years ago. I hope for a successful graduation for your son.
Blessings to you and your family and new job.
