All in Perspective

In the last few days I've learned a couple things about my perspective on my life. A few weeks ago I would have told you that I was most likely quitting my job and transferring to a different house (same job, same company, different group home) that I had recently applied for. My current job was tearing me down and making me very tired and stressed (we got a new lady when I went on maternity leave and I rarely get to sleep through the night and I was having some issues with my supervisor). But after doing a site visit to another site last week I realize that my job isn't so bad for several reasons that I won't go into.... but I've been working this weekend and feel that my job is just fine. Last week I hated it.. this week, it's not so bad.

Another issue on perspective is that I'm still running this winter.. I ran through the cold even in the negative temps. When 30 degree's first hit this winter I thought it was cold but now that we've survived the -20's then +30 feels great. So running has been much better (as long as roads aren't too snowy) and playing outside has been a possibility again. So, two months ago 30 was cold.. today, 30 is nice and toasty.

Sometimes, I think God has a funny way of showing us that life is okay just as it is. The grass may seem greener on the other side but sometimes our side is just as luscious.
