I have learned so much about community and our place in it in the last few weeks.
I have learned to see the other side of my commitments, and what it means to others that I be honorable with my word.
I have wrestled with my pride...
and wrestled,
and wrestled
to overcome the idea that I could possibly have hurt other people by my action to 'live my best life, make the best choices for my family, and pursue health'.
I have learned to humble myself before others, apologize and seek forgiveness.
I have learned that small annoyances to me, may be the biggest blessing to people looking upon us from the other side of the fence, or across the street.
I have learned that to watch children in utter bliss...is bliss.
I have learned that God wants to give to me, and I want to receive and be thankful of God.
I have discovered that life happens one hope-filled 'quest'ion at a time.
I have learned not to talk on the phone when I am driving, working, or cooking...or wanting to spend time with my kids, talk with Mark or nurse the baby as nothing gets done as well.

I am sure there is more that I have learned or re-learned...like, don't taste really hot soup until it cools down (Duh.).

May we never stop learning.
