"Life is like a box of chocolates!"
"Families are like fudge;
mostly sweet with a few nuts."
And so it goes here...
Life IS like a box of chocolates - there's a little bit of everything going on inside. Mostly it's good. But now and then you get something you don't like. :-P
Thus the families like fudge quote. :)
We are embarking on yet more changes around here. Not necessarily changes we want.
Still, they are necessary.
Sometimes one must make the best of such changes with the attitude that 'this too shall pass' or that 'this is only temporary' or some other such coping phrase.
For nearly a year my sister and my niece left us to venture living on their own. My niece has been back here for several weeks now; and my sister will be moved back in within the month. Along these same lines; my 25yo daughter is closer to moving out into her own place - possibly in a few months; and my son plans on moving out either in 4 months or 8 months.
