You have provided me with many tips, many memories,much inspiration. I am hopeful that I will be successful in slowly changing my lifestyle to a simpler one. Have all the chemical cleaners out of the house and use your recipes for laundry and cleaning compounds. Started a garden this year and plan a larger one next year. I am doing my best to shop locally and have found a great farm stand here in Massachusetts,US that lists on their signs where the food comes from. I never would have paid attention to that before. Thank you for time and effort you put into being neighborly with your friends all over the world. I hope that some day I can be that helpful to another, and by baby steps, we can change this downward spiral we are in regarding our environment. I promise to keep in touch. Thanks,MeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-42083979283092089982007-10-05T09:08:00.000+10:002007-10-05T09:08:00.000+10:00Thank you everyone.

It is wonderful to have found like-minded people - and so close to home - I too am on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland (west of Eumundi). I am on a week's holiday this week and have spent a good proportion of that time reading your old (and new) blogs. Keep it coming! and thank you.

There are many people that want to get back to the way life used to be. A simpler life, less filled with wants. There are so many chemicals that are killing off the human race we all need to be a little more "Down to Earth" before we kill the Earth and everything that lives on it.<BR/>You show us easy ways to live properly. 50,000 hits sure is a remarkable feat. You are a great teacher. We need more of you in this world.<BR/>Thanks, PaulaPaulaBretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325105400606691687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-49819590575005633572007-10-05T04:52:00.000+10:002007-10-05T04:52:00.000+10:00Thank you for such a nice greeting!

I have been trying to pare down my lifestyle to a much simpler one. It is hard with two teenage daughters and a technology obsessed husband. I feel it is up to me to lead the way much as you have suggested. Thanks again for all your suggestions about living simply.
