Choosing Joy

My mom no longer lives at home. It broke my heart to see her leave her big home. She shares a small room in a nursing home, and she has learned to love it! It was hard at first, but this is where she needs to be.
She has lots of friends here! She is reconnecting with people that she has known for many years. Mom has found joy, and I rest easier because of it. When I am tempted to complain about the pressures of my life, I think of my mom.
