Childlike activity preserves sanity
I went home last weekend to celebrate Easter with my parents and younger sister. I love my family with all of my heart, but my love for my hometown runs about as deep as the dried-up riverbeds on the outskirts of town. But, my mom wanted me to come home, so I agreed.
