At my brother's request and his neighbor's behest, I rented out my apt in Spain where I have been living 14 years and returned to the US to be closer to our mother. The transition requires that we all be flexible as we have not lived near one another for many, many years. Also, living in Spain has influenced me; I act in accordance with that culture. God is able to smooth transitions. Pray that all goes well, that according to St. Francis Assisi's prayer, to be understood, I understand. I love my family and I love my peace of mind. Let God richly give us both. May my tolerance be increased, see paths to use my Spanish language skills and speak less than I listen. Amen.
