What I Learned

while living in Denver for a month.

I learned that -

• caring for a baby is a lot of work, but so worth every minute of joy you get back.
• the month of January, weather wise, CAN be enjoyable, if you are not in Iowa.
• I have a lot of time as a retired person. Am I making best use of it?
• being busy all day renewed my energy level, so does not being busy make you lazy?
• my own bed is the best place to sleep.
• sunshine is so energizing. I LOVED the sunny days of Denver.
• living away for a month requires a re-orientation to where you keep things in your own house.
• when you return home, it looks good, but it also develops a desire to make changes....
• the construct of my days should look differently or I should appreciate the freedom more.
• I don't want to see the clothes I wore for the month again.
• maybe moving from Iowa or at least during the winter, would be a good choice.
• my kids are kind and gracious about having me around and I love their presence.
• walking outside in the winter with mild temperatures is exactly the boost needed.
• people everywhere are friendly. 
• flying from a big airport to big airport is cheaper and easier.
• there is nothing more enjoyable than the smile and love of a baby.
• I would do it all again, in a heart beat.
