Getting Repositioned

It's amazing how your perspective of life and quality of life alters as you age. Ten years ago, I wouldn't have even mentioned the phrase "quality of life." My life was about me back then, about how much fun I could have in my college life, and graduating.  Nowadays, things are changing for me. It's not even about making a lot of money and becoming wealthy. I would like to be wealthy. But something interesting has happened during this holiday season. I've spent more time decorating the house and really getting into a cheerful spirit. Tyler is able to begin to appreciate the joy of the season; he claps and cheers every time I light the tree. Every night we go through our evening routine: eat dinner, shower, and off to the living room to watch TV. He started forcing me to sit with him on the couch and watch TV. Imagine that. A 2 year-old pushing you down on the couch with him climbing up next to you and grabbing a blanket on the way. The past week has captured some of the most heartwarming moments of my life. Sunday night we sat and watched The Wizard of Oz together, snuggled together with the tree and lit garland, cascading down the staircase. What I'm getting at is that I want more of this. I want a good quality of life where I can spend QUALITY time with my son, just doing nothing at all. He gets so much pleasure in us spending time together. I've prayed about it. How do I get in a position to have more time at home, work less, and still provide a good living for the household? I've had a lot of turmoil at my job and I believe that the Lord will be moving me out. Where I will go at this point I don't know. But I'm trusting God. I feel that I'm in a different place than where I was a week ago. If I were a tree, I would feel like someone is digging up my roots and is about to transport me to a different place. Destination unknown.
