A very wise friend of mine named Kelley once gave me a very good piece of advice..."life is life, no matter where you live it."
That piece of advice has been a comfort over these 2 years, and I was reminded of it again today. I have been spending a lot of time focusing on being back home. The shopping, restaurants, freedoms, entertainment. It is easy to fall into a trap of thinking that by moving to America, my life will automatically be flawless.
I have been emailing my friend Sarahbee a lot. We talk in the emails like we are sitting at a park together, watching our boys play. She has been in the States for right around a month, and things aren't perfect. Her son is having issues with this transition just like W is. They haven't found a house yet. There are stressors. Sure, it is nice to be home, but life isn't perfect.
Good to remember. Life is life, huh?
