Some days I take a moment and reflect on life and where we are at. I think about this little city we find ourselves in and I am grateful. Cedar City is a good place to be. The area is beautiful, the weather is about perfect (though some cold days make me long for Florida), and the people are wonderful. It is comforting to feel a certain level of safety for you family. I know that there is still danger and there are certainly temptations. The adversary doesn't check out just because you live in a certain place. Living here requires just as much diligence and faith as living anywhere else. That said, it is good to be surrounded by people that are dedicated to the same cause and who are trying their best to be faithful followers of the Savior. I am grateful for that strength.
I like the smaller town, the quieter place. I don't miss the big city, the traffic, the business of it all. Don't get me wrong, there is still a ton going on and I am as busy as ever but there is a difference. I guess the other thing that may come into play here is that my perspective on life has changed quite a bit in recent years. There are a lot of things that once appeared so important but really are not so. Oh well, I really don't have a ton to say. I was just thinking about living here this morning and the gratitude I feel for the blessing it has been and is in our lives.
