Perspective is a beautiful thing

John & I attended our first "The Smart Stepfamily" class on Sunday. Wow. There were only about 6 couples that attended, but man was it nice to be in the company of others who have walked or are walking a similar path!
We watched an introductory video explaining the nuts and bolts of a stepfamily and the goals of the course. It was like having a disease that no one else understood, and then suddenly walking into a room of 20 people who all share this disease! Including a couple doctors who specialize in it! What a wonderful thing! John & I are probably the youngest couple in the class, but I think that will enable us to gleen valuable insite and perspective from those who have been exactly where we are.
In other news, our toddler is sleeping again, our 9 year old is doing a MARVELOUS job in school and our 7 year old is acting up a bit. Sunday gave me such a refreshing perspective on our family - such a renewed sense of purpose & resolve.
I wake up with a refreshed perspective each morning - and I am so thankful for the prespective I've been granted - the view is SPECTACULAR from here!!
