I remember when we first moved, I worried for Elena (and myself!). She constantly asked for her old friends, and I couldn't give them to her! Since then, she has learned to adapt to her new surroundings. And now she is happier.
I remember when I was anxious if I didn't get out of the house EVERYDAY! Since then, especially with two children, I've learned to adapt to indoor peace as well. And now I am happier.
I guess if we don't adapt, we won't survive (emotionally in this case). Right Darwin? DARWIN?!?!
