After being in Colorado for a week, I have a new perspective on things here.
First, on being in Illinois:
I drove to Aldi the day after I got back and it was wonderful to drive straight on level ground - something I usually take for granted or even often find boring! I was also thankful for good soil and enough land to have a garden.
Second, I gained a new perspective with my kids. I made a point of sharing with Jacob and Kaitlyn and maybe Cameron, that God made them, He loves them, and He wants to help them do good things for Him. I need to say that to my kids more often instead of just correcting negative behavior.
I also took time to get to know my niece and nephews and enjoyed them thoroughly. I think I would enjoy my kids more if I took more time just to be with them instead of always trying to accomplish things with them.
