My Lawyer is Right…Waiting is the Hardest Part

Ok, so she was right, the wait is the hardest.  What’s worse is I’m already looking at my watch and I’m early into the waiting process.  I’ve had some cases referred to me, some fell through right away due to baby health issues and some are still in the wait and hopes that the BM might like me.  While waiting for feedback from BM’s, just waiting for referrals can be tough.  What’s hard is being ready, having everything lined up and ready to go, yet having to wait wait wait.  I know how marketing and getting the word out works, normally the more you get out there the more chances one has to find what they are looking for.  It’s tough when you only have a few referrals in the works, the odds of thing lining up are tough.  Yet I just keep looking and checking websites and talking to people and letting everyone know I’m looking for a child.

It will happen but as with most things in life, probably not fast enough. :)

Now is a good time to practice what I’ve learned as a Buddhist and just be in the moment, creating suffering by looking to the future and looking at the watch won’t do any good.

I guess I’ll just go sit….

Namaste,

Kris

Starbuck’s Cup Zen of the Day

Sometimes the “The Way I See It” on the sides of Starbuck’s cup are very zen….like this one from Desi Di Nardo (Author and Poet from Toronto)

The way I see it

Isn’t necessarily

The way you see it

Or the way it is

Or ought to be

What’s more important

Is that we’re all

Looking for it

And a way to see it
