Receiving Hope from the (not so) Hopeless

Aside from my most recent entry I have been away from blogging from some time. Although the occasional check in from my online/email buddy in California I have had to take a break from the infertility boards and all of the blogs. Today I decided to wander onto the blogs of those that I had added to my blog for your reading pleasure. To my surprise 70 percent of them are now pregnant – wow I really have been gone from the infertility-internet world for a while! Big CONGRATULATIONS to them all and an even bigger THANK YOU! Sometimes in this journey although we never lose sight of our goal we lose ourselves in the obstacles and think that we will never accomplish our dreams so without knowing it you gave me hope when it was all but lost! I pray that I may pay it forward someday soon and provide hope to others who are still struggling to be come pregnant - that although they might feel like they are drowning in a sea of infertility their dream to become a parent will also be fulfilled.

Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day ~Sally Koch
