Sometimes life feels like a rain storm.
The rain pours, and pours, and pours until everything is completely drenched, through and through.
Everything is cold and wet and grey.
Then the rain. suddenly. stops.
The sun breaks through the clouds.
Everything is warmed, and everything catches its breath.
And all around is an abundance of life-giving water,
that would not have been there,
had there never been
a
storm.

We're definitely feeling that here. On our trip to Idaho the kids decided to all sit together in the back seat. Usually Nathan sits up front both because he doesn't want to have to deal with the girls and they don't want to have to deal with him. And they still would fight a lot of the time. But this time they chose to sit together, they got along really well, and they had a good time. It's a night and day difference.
I've been noticing the difference in Nathan since we changed his diet. It was obvious within 3 weeks and it's become even more obvious each passing day. He's had the best year at school that he's had in ... possibly ever. But this past trip was the first time I'd realized that the diet has positively affected the girls' moods too.
It really does feel like we've been in a raging storm for so long that we've just gotten used to the wet and noise and dreariness. And now the sun is coming out and you realize how great it is to be out from under it.
It's great to see you posting again, Jill. :-)
