Amazement

The past few weeks have been fantastic.   We've celebrated the end of a great year, we are hopeful for the upcoming year and the new adventures that await.  I've found myself in this strange "freaked out" state.  I'm not scared, I'm not nervous, I'm just freaked out.  I do not know what to expect, and although I know it will all work out, the "not knowing" freaks me out.

This morning I was driving home from a meeting and glanced back to the little car seat base in the back of the vehicle; struck by the truth that in just a few short weeks, there will be a little human in there.   A little human that I will be utterly responsible for. 

I've been on break from school and don't go back until the 14th.   It's been an incredibly relaxing vacation and I'm using every ounce of it to get ready for this year.   I'm lifeplanning with my friend and business partner +Brian Fletcher and trying to get some running miles under my belt before things change.  

I'm curious...if you are a parent and you are reading this short post...what one word of advice would give to a new set of parents adopting a newborn?   Just curious!
