I'll be honest, life in Kayenta hasn't been easy. True, it is an adventure and there are beautiful places to explore here, but the unexpected, frigid temps of the winter, combined with the shortened days and the lack of friends to share the times with have been tough. We knew, going into this that it would be a difficult transition and possibly difficult couple of years, but no matter how you prepare yourself for reality, it's always different than you ever imagined.
Each time we have moved, I have had to relearn the lesson that life isn't about me being happy. I do pray that my children are happy, and will have great memories of their childhood, but I often have to remind myself, that it is not what each "home town" has to offer me, rather what do I have to offer each new "home". It is a difficult lesson. I know that once I begin to involve myself in a meaningful way, I will feel more at home.
