Struggling
I've always looked forward to summer. It's always because summer is fun, and bright and sunny and happy, but it's also been because summer means trips home to see family, a break from school, and either time off, or the start of another interim job that I'm excited about.
Not so much this year, and that's a bummer.
We have a trip to California for Jeremy's wedding at the end of June; the following weekend, Leah and Keith are coming up for the Fourth of July, and immediately after that, I'm on a plane to NY to see my family for a week. But other than that 2-week oasis in the middle of the summer, I've kind of been dreading it.
Josh has always been really good at making himself be happy in circumstances he doesn't like. I have always been more of the mindset that if you don't like your circumstances, change them. But now I'm in a situation where that is simply not immediately possible. Long term, yes, but for the time being my choices are to be unhappy, or to be happy.
Ugh.

I get ya.
Mom just told me today you are coming home. I am so happy to hear that, I can't wait to see you and Isabella.
That's where that "For I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" thing gets really hard. Does it make it any easier at all to know that you will have stronger character for it when it's all said and done?
Didn't think so. Me either... :)
@frtnr_mama - But you know what Amy? It surprised me the first time we talked about this and I found out that you had struggled with the same feelings, and THAT gave me encouragement! To know that someone I love and respect has fought the same battle, the exact same one, and came out of it alive. :o)
@shannonmarieadams - Well, there is no arguing... I AM alive. :) Yes, I know what you mean, and yes, you will survive too. *hug*
