i've been so frustrated with our temporary situation. it really stinks to throw clothes into drawers or hang them up in a closet, not knowing when they'll have to just be put back in a bag again. and it's such a bummer not know where we'll be in a month. but then i pulled these pics off my memory card and had to remind myself that at least we have a warm place to sleep each night. we have a front door that locks and no barking dog outside. we have grocery stores and gas stations nearby. so i suppose wherever you hang your clothes, you can make a home.

Thank you for posting this picture!
Sometimes...we just don't realize how really lucky we are...with our own set of problems.
I heard Michael J. Fox say when asked during an interview, if he felt angry with his situation or down about it. First he said he actually felt lucky and that their were lots of people a lot worse off then him....then, he said (paraphrased) that if a group of people all put in their problems into a circle and they could choose to have ANY of the problems in that circle...most people would choose to just take back their own.
I thought that was a fairly profound description.
I totally agree with the previous comment! We think we have it so tough until we see what others have to deal with.
One of the greatest gifts we can ever receive in this life is the gift of perspective and you just can't achieve it unless you go through some tough times.
