Charles Dickens knows all

I went to church with my in-laws today and there was a great discussion in Relief Society. The teacher brought up Dickens' "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I can't help but think that is what we are going through right now. It is great to be free of the responsibilities of a house, yard, school. It is nice to roam around and visit our family and friends. It's good not to feel tied down to anything. But...it is terrible being separated from your spouse. It's disconcerting not to have your things around you. It's hard being responsible for three little people ALL the time. It is good, and it is bad.
