Play tourist, as you say, around town. There is certainly much to be done not far from home. I'm glad you and your partner have found a way to make it work despite the schedules. Its encouraging.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-67444788618616794402015-04-26T14:24:16.177-06:002015-04-26T14:24:16.177-06:00I think you nailed it.

I always say that cliche about how it all works out in the end and if it hasn't its not the end. I hope your family has as much peace as possible while things are adjusting. I do think its all good, but sometimes a cry is good, too.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-73072363701825395952015-04-26T14:20:40.550-06:002015-04-26T14:20:40.550-06:00Yup...I'm certainly a make-lemonade type.

No problem!

However, we have explored a lot of central Kentucky and it is amazing how much there is to do and see if you just put on your tourist "hat" and go for it! I"m happy that Matt likes his new job. That is so important for life balance.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032479084775154076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-13977965316103448112015-04-22T09:21:07.842-06:002015-04-22T09:21:07.842-06:00It's a challenge for sure.

Unfortunately, he's a business owner so that can change at any time if someone calls off. Being flexible is key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-5171971534535500442015-04-19T05:45:26.037-06:002015-04-19T05:45:26.037-06:00I am glad you are re-adjusting your attitude to fi...I am glad you are re-adjusting your attitude to fit your new normal. My family is in a transition time and I have wavered between "it's God's will and it's good." and blubbering uncontrollably. I am trying to come down on the happy side of life (like I read in a children's book called The Laughing Dragon by Kenneth Mahood).

Our days off are still opposite; when we don't work we don't get paid. But, we're to the point where we just factor that in. Like you said, it's a mind-set. Spend less here so we can go there. It's all good!momsavnoreply@blogger.com
