life used to be so hard...

…now everything is easy ‘cause of you

Lane is at the neighborhood pond with his friends, building a fort and eating a picnic lunch.

Alex is at a friend’s house ‘til dinner.

Gerald’s running errands.

So here I am, sitting on my couch, enjoying the fresh air coming through the windows and the sounds of birds, kids, and lawnmowers in the neighborhood around me. I have a spring cold—unpleasant, but not debilitating—which gives me license to lounge, rather than cleaning up and packing boxes. And this rare oasis of stillness and solitude gives me time to reflect and be grateful.

We’re happy. Our life here is good. There is nothing that we need that we want for—from food and shelter to friends and family.

I’m blessed.
