Last night I woke-up three times, after three dreams.

Dream #1: I met Eden (the little girl we are adopting from Ethiopia) and she had some physical problems that were going to need more medical attention than we thought. But I was really glad to meet her. And she was a couple of years older than I thought.

Dream #2: I met Eden and she was about 12 years old, up to my chin, beautiful and spoke fluent English. And I was really glad to meet her.

Dream #3: I met Eden and she was a really cute little three year old. She gave me a hug & I was really glad to meet her.

Well, now you know what's on my mind. The challenge is to try to live in the present when my dreams are in the future. I think I did a really good job of this until about 2 weeks ago (when we failed our first court date). It's become harder ever since. Time hasn't gone by this slow since Algebra class. In the next day or two, I'll tell you a few things that have kept me sane and energized for the present.
