That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn’t want my boys to learn that the way to work through a tough time was to use a wounded and bitter attitude.

　　Over the next few months I smiled when I didn’t feel like it. We signed up for reading programs at the library and frequented parks and the bike path along the river.

　　One afternoon Samuel and I clambered up the stairs to the library activity room. A woman who I hadn’t seen before sat at an oblong table with a tiny boy.

　　“Hi,” she said. “I’m Tammy. Do you need a seat? There’s one right here.”

　　I sat down next to Tammy. Soon class was over, and we still had a lot to say. “Why don’t you come over later?” Tammy asked. “I live on a farm. There’s plenty of room for the kids to run.” We went. And since that day, we’ve been back a million times.

　　When I look back, I’m grateful for that tough time. I learned to persevere. I’m glad I didn’t give up.

　　And as for my boys, they learned a lesson too. “Keep moving forward,” is what I tell them. “Your heart will follow.”

　　Why did the writer move to a new neighborhood?

　　To find a part-time job in the library.

　　To make new friends with the local people.

　　To enjoy the beauty of the Mississippi River.

　　To make her husband go to work conveniently.
