It takes time...

Good things come to those who wait. Whether you're patient or not. It's been a few months since we started our new adventure. Or, at least the idea of a new adventure. We're closer and closer every day. Not too much longer now.
The destination and purpose have stayed the same, but the specifics have changed. We are learning to be more patient with red-tape and waiting. But the red-tape and waiting never seem to end.
My daughter turned 18, graduates in 2 weeks....then is moving on with her life. It's bitter sweet to see her go, so sad to lose her....yet so proud to see her take her steps as an adult. Starting her new life will be scary, but exciting. Much like bringing her into this crazy world was to begin with.
All this change happening at the same time is good for me. Good for my soul. Good for my heart. I'm eager to move forward, but taking the time to acknowledge what I will miss and leave behind. You can't gain anything without losing something. At the very least....time.
Upward and onward. Any second now........
