I have a personality which doesn't leave me idle for long. As soon as I accomplish something I am ready to move on to the next project without leaving any down time to relax. At times this mentality leaves me in a lurch and feeling stressed. Despite these experiences (which I do not learn from) I repeat this behavior over and over again. In my defense, I have had lots of wonderful experiences and accomplishments which I can contribute to this behavior...therefore it is all worth it in the end. I now find myself at my resting place...I have opened a door into my dream life and I am standing here thinking....what's next! To me this is quite funny. To my husband...I'm sure he is thinking that I'm quite loony! I do have one big "project" that I am working on...which is my new job. For some reason I do not feel that is enough.
I'm sure many of you know where this is headed. Yes you are right, I would like to add another beating heart into this house. Of course Mike now knows I am loony but as always he just listens and listens. Notice I did not say comment. We have a cycle of communication and it goes like this:
Megan talks, Mike listens, Megan talks, Mike listens, Megan talks, Mike listens...repeat...repeat...repeat ...ok.. Megan talks...Mike comments...Megan talks, Mike comments, options are discussed, decision is made and we move forward.
This works quite well for us...and I think in the end we are both happy. This process can last weeks, months or years, depending on the topic. For instance, I have wanted a treadmill for over three years....it got delivered last week. Mike has a good way of keeping things in check for me.
Back to the beating heart. Yes....we would like to adopt again. So....the process begins...I have researched agencies like I was getting paid. We have lots of options and Mike has been briefed on these options. We may have found the one...whom we are going to have a phone conference with in the next week or so. We have been accepted by them but we need to ask some questions if we want to proceed. It appears that financially this is the best option for us...we just need to finalize the when, what and how portions of the topic to make our complete decision. I would love to fill up this big house with beating hearts but I'm thinking that I can only persuade Mike for one or two more. I haven't shared with him that there are 147 million orphans in this world. I am saving that statistic for the right time.
147 million orphans.... I'm sure we can find room for another beating heart in our home.
