When the home is happy, that happiness spills out everywhere you go.

Well, it's been a while since I blogged.  The start of the school year got us back to being busy, but not as busy as it would have been had my wife gone back to work.  Wow, what a difference her staying home makes.  She is less stressed, therefore I and the kids are less stressed.  This is the first time that my wife has not worked as a teacher since we were married.  I must say, life is great.  I don't know how we all held it together when she was working.  I don't even want to imagine her going back to work anymore.  She's enjoying her time at home, and I'm enjoying my time everywhere.  When we got married, we became one.  When she's worried, I'm worried for her.  When she's frustrated, I recieve some of that frustration.  We are emotionally connected.  I never realized how connected we are. Now, I don't feel those worries and frustrations.  I feel more at peace because my wife is more a peace.

We may not have the same disposable income that we used to have, but I don't really feel it.  Having money is not the same as having peace and harmony in the home.  It's true.  When the home is happy, that happiness spills out everywhere you go.
