I enjoyed reading your blog. On this particular subject of coming home and how things were the same yet different I see this too. As I watch my nieces and nephews and my own sons grow up I am amazied to find how different thier attitudes and points of few change. Then again I also realized that this is part of our own “each individual” growing up in life. I remember as a little girl all the times I was together with cousins and spending the nights and having fun, my uncles and aunts teasiing me and such. It was strange to see how as I got older this all changed and we grew so far apart yet the memories are always there to reflect back on. Times changed and so did I not just them. However I also understood that in allot of ways people cannot or will not see the change in others and will in many ways reflect negatively on the new “grown” up person. Therefore I came to realize that I have to rely on myself, my faith, my inner being to stay grounded and focus. My Grandmother all ways said if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. I think that also goes with believeing there is something nice about someone and attempting to find the good in them and keeping that focused rather then focus on negative attidudes (sp)=?). I believe people can get in a habit of negativity, therefore you can also get in the habit of being happy and positive. Still life sometimes will get you down, but hopefully not for long. Remembering the good times as a child and hopeing you can give your children those same good memories to reflect back on as they grow up will carry our family through until we are all old, gray, and still enjoying the times God gives us.
