Good days and bad days

It is always amazing to me how a perfectly good day can have one thing that turns it into a bad day or vise versa. Today has been a good day for me. The kids have behaved well. It was very productive. I got to go to the library, the grocery store, a dotors appointment, the video store (to return a movie) and the post office. On the other hand, Jake did not have a very good day. He had a hard day at work and he is very homesick. I believe one of the wonderful things about being married is able being to share your day with each other. I miss being able to do this with Jake. I miss just sitting around holding each other talking about our day- good or bad. We have so far survived 5 weeks apart. There are about 15 more to go (I guess we are 1/4 of the way through our time apart). I will pray today for good days and for patience and strenghth to make it through the hard days.
