Actually I also love this one...

And this one...
I am so blessed..

I'm healthy

My family and friends are for the most part healthy.

Those that are not at their best have access to excellent medical care.

I have support for my adoption choices everywhere I turn.

I love my school and my colleagues (even though I'm not thrilled about the library position).

My son resides in an orphanage that has sent healthy, happy, developmentally on-target children to live with dear friends in Canada.

Benjaminh's nanny hovers over him...my kind of nanny.

I live in a country that provides paid job protection for a 35 week parental leave (the money sucks, just enough to pay the mortgage and not much else, but I'm thrilled about the leave anyway).

3 families left today to journey to their children at Benjaminh's orphanage.

May they have a safe and worry free journey.

Perhaps I will be further blessed with updated photos in honour of Canadian

Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving
