My New, Same, Great Life

Well we tried to live in Benson, but it wasn't meant to be. So we are returning back to Tucson to our old home that we never sold. I like our home in Tucson, moving back especially because it wasn't really our choice has felt like stepping back in time, kinda like a lack of progression. We wanted a new life in Benson and it happened but it was only temporary. I watched this video and it changed my mind.

I will be grateful that I am living and I will count my blessings.

Top ten things I love about returning to Tucson

10. Wienerschnitzel is 200 yards away, DQ 10 minutes.
9. I can go to the grocery store without leaving the neighborhood.
8. Parks and Recreation (although with the budget cuts it is way smaller)
7. Target, Costco, the Dollar Tree
6. Our play room
5. Being able to bike to church again
4. Tank-less water heater, ahhh never ending hot showers.
3. A quick drive to the kids school.
2. Our neighborhood's Cathloic Church's noon day chimes, they always play a beautiful hymn.
1. Not having to drive 45 min. to visit family and friends, no more late night drives!

My blessings from Benson

10. A greater appreciation for the simple things in life, electricity, water, deep sinks.
9. The Benson Bobcat Rallies.
8. St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store, kids get a free book, I get great deals.
7. Hiking in Happy Valley.
6. The nighttime country sky.
5. The three traffic lights.
4. The "Land"
3. The altitude, a couple of snowfalls a winter, good storms in the summer.
