The notice has been there for quite some time and I wondered if it is just coming through on my computer or if it is still down. It says to go to Facebook but I do not do Facebook.<br />Thank you so much<br />Karen NZ happyathomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013151124650178170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-61857146776188659282013-03-20T21:38:25.806+10:002013-03-20T21:38:25.806+10:00I found you in this crazy internet world and have ...I found you in this crazy internet world and have felt so inspired. If I gave you my life story, or even just my realities of the past few years, you'd most likely do as everyone else and wonder how I get through my days. .....then again, I read the things you're flitting through your mind and i feel a kinship. I lost a daughter, I have a son who's had over 8 surgeries this year and he'll only be one in the next few weeks....I'm being told my 2 year old is showing signs of autism and because he still doesn't talk, he has been recommended to see a specialist. I also have a 17 year old and all the joy and craziness his testosterone brings. ....your words rang so true to my nearly 40 year old ears this morning. Everything we've been through makes us who we are. .....others looking in to my life see hardship. Yes, things have been hard but we feel pretty dang blessed too. ....I always smile when i see comments about mothers having different priorities and may not be able to do certain things, blah, blah, blah. True but at the same time, we all wake up and choose how we live that particular day. I keep hearing that we only live once and i think that's such load of bull. If I've learned anything from my life, we only die once. We live each day and can do so much and also have plenty of time to stop and be thankful for what we do have. ....I apologize for rambling but I thought you should know your words are impacting me (and surely countless others). I am improving daily and want you to have some credit.

You are a joy to read because of your joy for your life. I think we all aspire to a life filled with joy. Hope your foot is feeling better today-willing it better may work for you-it worked for my Mom most of the time! In your last picture you show a small bottle wrapped in silver-I have one so similar to yours-don't know where I got it but I love it.

I wish we could grow citrus trees here in KY (USA), but alas, the climate is too cold. We do have some young apple, pear, peach, apricot, cherry and plum trees growing. Hopefully they will bear in a few years. I am looking forward to planting our garden in about another 6-7 weeks, just as you are going into the fall season. Thank you for sharing your simple life with us...I look forward to your blog each day! ~Elainehappy in KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471712904154079473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35919878796986139742013-03-20T07:45:55.766+10:002013-03-20T07:45:55.766+10:00You may not be perfect, but you do some amazing th...You may not be perfect, but you do some amazing things.<br /><br />I enjoy reading your posts very much.<br /><br />Love Angela (south EnglandUK)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-33709892581369080142013-03-20T07:17:25.735+10:002013-03-20T07:17:25.735+10:00You're right Rebecca.
