It's important to stop and name meaningful moments, you know, to celebrate them. They may seem small in the big picture, but then again, the big picture is made up of tiny little pixels. Remove a pixel and the picture is off. Put it back, and it's restored. So maybe by celebrating the small moments, we're really celebrating the big ones, and by celebrating the big ones, we're also honoring the small ones that make up the big ones. It's all in your perspective, I suppose.
Well, according to my perspective, two moments happened today that are worth celebrating. The first--Asia's school bus stopped at the end of our driveway to pick her up for school. Thing is, I was driving her to school at the time. We had requested that the school district change Asia's bus stop because it was too far from our home. And you know what? They actually did! I guess you know your district can handle it when the Director of Transportation's name is Van. We celebrate that Asia is seen and recognized at public school.
The second--I got a call from Beth, one of our adoption caseworkers. I hadn't actually talked to her since we got back from the Philippines. Before today's call, every conversation was centered on getting Rex. She helped us get ready to travel; she updated us on the progress; she prepared us to meet him. It was all for the future. But now, for the first time, we weren't looking forward, not counting down the days. Instead we talked about the present, what's actually going on. We celebrate that Rex is with us.
