MUSINGS

Definition of Musings: thoughts, especially when aimless and unsystematic.

My first challenge in beginning a blog was deciding what to name it.   After brainstorming with Allen, we decided that "musing" was a unique word which would communicate my intentions.  I found a few definitions of musings but I liked this description the best. 

I have kept some sort of journal for my entire life.  My entries are not always organized, consistant or even all that interesting.  But they reflect where I've been and what I've been thinking about at any given point in time.  I often write while I am on vacation.  I often write about my children and my relationships.

I am not exactly sure what this blog will look like, but I hope to accomplish a few things.  As I journey down this road called adoption, I want to record some of my thoughts as they surface.  Of course, I want to remember special days and things that happen so I don't forget.  (It is amazing how quickly we forget significant events in our lives!)  Lastly, I want to provide a place for my friends and family who are curious as we progress in this adventure.  If you do decide to follow along, please remember to pray for our family.  This is uncharted waters for all of us!

The focus of my blog will be the adoption, but I will surely post other things of interest as they come along.  If it goes well, I will continue after the children come.  I hope to include verses, quotes and pictures as I get more comfortable with the mechanics of the blog.  I guess that is all you need to know about my "musings". Check back when you have a minute to see what's been on my mind!

I wish I would have been blogging when we adopted. I really had so many thoughts and feelings that I would now like to recall more clearly. Also, I wish I would have a record of both the happy and sad things that happened the first couple of years. Glad you are going to have this written log!
