SIMPLE THINGS

I was starting to feel sorry for myself a little while ago. I was starting to think here we go again not having Kent around for the holidays. For those of you keeping track this will be our 4th holidays were Kent hasn't been around. I was feeling like I can never seem to catch up. I sometimes feel like were always on the go. I know that life is just that way for most people so I really shouldn't complain. And I'd rather be busy it makes deployments go faster.
Then one day I am passing through the house and I peak in the living room and this is what I see Logan reading a book to his siblings and they are just content to do so and I realize it is the simple things that make life great. I love watching my children interact with one another and then I started realizing how bless I really am.
When fall comes I don't need to buy fruit. I have fruit trees in my backyard. I have the grape vines so I can make grape juice and have it to drink through out the year.
So, I guess life isn't so bad and having Kent gone for the holidays. It just makes us appreciate him more when he is home.
