People believe if they have a house that matches up to all the interior decorating magazines, they will be happy. Sometimes I fall into that, but more are the times when I realize how blessed I am. My home is my favorite place on earth. <br />The Girl in the Pink DressThe Girl in the Pink Dresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250837836714463827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-41267036903173436822009-12-04T01:56:24.988+10:002009-12-04T01:56:24.988+10:00thank you Rhonda, this is such a heart warming and...thank you Rhonda, this is such a heart warming and true post. It actually made tears well up in my eyes! A home, is the place where you can always fall back on, and it has absolutely nothing to do with expensive furniture or the latest microwave. It's the house, where you feel welcome, wanted, appreciated and loved...it's where a family and their friends, share their meals together, and where we listen to each others stories and feelings....that's what I hope to be able to teach my children and I have to tell you that your blog, helps me a lot!shandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16446222748692115539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-79464045081703576232009-12-04T00:04:43.778+10:002009-12-04T00:04:43.778+10:00i have just not found anyone else writing this stu...i have just not found anyone else writing this stuff. i have felt this all to be true for years, but not been able to put it into words as well as you do. thank you for voicing what i really feel needs to be said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37807385023562430132009-12-03T02:28:40.157+10:002009-12-03T02:28:40.157+10:00Hi Rhonda;

You have a way of writing that expresses what so many of us think and feel, but can't put into words. Thank you for putting perspective into my day - we truly need to remember how important it is to focus on our families, especially in a world were "things" seem to be the main focus. <br />Many blessings to you, BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39251430483161555902009-12-03T02:04:16.984+10:002009-12-03T02:04:16.984+10:00What an absolutely lovely and heartwarming post.

I don't have the double storey mansion and so I am not considered as successful. But I do have two adult children who havnt given me a days worry and a husband who loves me and we are all happy.<br />Unfortunatly this doesnt count for much, only "stuff" counts.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-84050238177147653632009-12-02T11:30:39.036+10:002009-12-02T11:30:39.036+10:00Beautiful post and most appreciated.
