I stocked up on plastic (but glass looking) ornament balls on clearance at Dollar General last year. Someday- those vintage glass balls will make a come back. Way to go on counting those blessings.

Sorry you had such troubles, but you've got a great outlook on the things that do truly matter. (And I'm the same way. I'd be cursing up a storm at 2 a.m.... but sleep and time helps put things in perspective.) Hope your wife feels better soon! Great post, Kyle.

I'm glad your wife is on the mend. And I'm sorry about the tree. I don't think I would handle that too well at 2 am either. Glad you can laugh about it now. Yikes! I’m glad your wife is on the mend.

My wife was in tears, I think for her it was a culmination of not wanting to be sick and being unable to do the things she wanted to do and then the TREE just was the final straw!

It's surprising how the suckier parts of life make you appreciate the good ones more. I wish we were better at appreciating the good in life before crisis strikes. Or 12-foot trees...
