Well, just as I suspected another day has begun! Today the sun is shining, but there is a crispness in the air. I had the unusual experience of scraping ice off of the windshield this morning. It was covered solid with a sheet of ice. The windshield wipers weren't touching it! Thank the good Lord for plastic spatulas!
Today will be a somewhat mellow day. I closed a big loan yesterday and made a bunch of people happy. That felt good. Today, I'll be trying to get another client to provide what I need to close yet another loan. Doesn't that sound exciting? No, well, not to me either! I'd rather be meeting the girls for an early game of tennis. Who am I kidding? I'd meet them for an early morning breakfast where I'd enjoy a short stack and an entire bottle of syrup! Yep, the syrup is my downfall and will no doubt be my demise when I die after being told I have diabetes and must give it up. Oh, that day will come. I pray for 20 more years of syrup pleasure!!!
Right now Zack and Sophia are winding down after a busy day and preparing to go to bed in about an hour which will be 8:00PM Russia time. I wonder if they are thinking about me and wondering if I'll really come back for them. I wonder if Sophia holds her precious doll tightly and hopes. I wonder if Zack is hoping to play balloon bopping with me again. Is his little mind hoping that they are telling the truth and his momma will return?
I can't wait to see the smile on their faces when I do indeed show up to bring them home. I am excited at the thought of them getting to ride in a car, have shoes all their own (that ones for you Janet!), take a bubble bath instead of being hosed down once a week, enjoy toys of their own, learn who Mickey Mouse is and even more importantly learn about their heavenly father who will never leave them nor forsake them.
Today, I am filled with wonders... These wonders make everything else in my life that causes stress pale.
