Grateful for Laundry?

What an amazing roller coaster I've been on!  Right now I'm watching a show called "Searching for..." on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network).  It is about a professional geneologist who reunites people.  I love exploring the various emotions of connecting, longing, touching, learning, crying, and smiling.

It makes me remember to appreciate the wonderful reunion I had with the daughter I gave up for adoption.  Some people don't even get a reunion.  Sometimes the person they are looking for is already dead or doesn't want to meet them or even talk.  I may not get to talk every day or even every month, but we do talk.  I appreciate that in the midst of a busy life, she connects with me.  I am so blessed!

Watching the show also makes me feel blessed to get to see my step-daughters as they grow up.  Even though it is every other week, I get to hear them laugh and do their laundry!
