It is so warm and welcoming and has given me some encouragement at a time when I am feeling overwhelmed with work and all my attempts to live a simpler life are on hold. <br /><br />My nanny used to make pea soup for us. I remember as a child, coming home from staying with family, to a cold wintry house, and there was a big pot of nanny's pea soup waiting for us on the doorstep! It is funny how little things like that make such wonderful memories. I miss her..... I think 2015 is going to be the year I learn to make pea soup. Thank you for reminding me.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371314706811756465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-78347852000625217442015-01-11T03:44:40.766+10:002015-01-11T03:44:40.766+10:00A bit late, but Happy 2015 !!

It was such a sad way to start the new year.<br />We hope things will be better soon. <br />I enjoy the little things in life very much. I try to see the good in everything, Family, home life, helping others, that is what I think is most important and I will keep focusing on those things.<br />Have a wonderful new year Rhonda, good luck with the writing.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997083457179608583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-13750004329105002002015-01-10T21:22:03.756+10:002015-01-10T21:22:03.756+10:00I was so excited to see this blog post this week R...I was so excited to see this blog post this week Rhonda. Your blog is the first thing I read every morning before work. I look forward to it every day. Your posts keep me grounded and remind me what kind of life I am striving for. They also give me one part of my day to just sit and read and reflect before I rush around getting myself and my children to work and school. You are such an inspiration and I have learnt so much from your blog. I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you for another exciting year ahead.

Although I read every blog you wrote last year, I could't work out how to comment until now, so creating a Goggle Account is new for me & appears to be what I needed to do to have my comments accepted. It's all very new to me & I'm very wary of entering personal info into the computer, which is why I've only been a reader. Is this the only way I can do it?<br />Thanks, Ann Todkill (Calico Ann)Calico Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392647353343996546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-58660138058308335372015-01-09T18:56:00.502+10:002015-01-09T18:56:00.502+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mumoftwo11https://www.blogger.com/profile/16445783652521901696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-69097479421604584642015-01-09T18:54:12.977+10:002015-01-09T18:54:12.977+10:00First time comment - long time reader & admire...First time comment - long time reader & admirer of your journey.

It took me a while to understand that being "just" mum was enough. But it is for me now. <br /><br />"grand optimism" - I like it! hahaha! often family and friends chuckle at our plans/dreams as we have them, work through them. But by thinking them through we work out what is going to work. The one of buying small acreage between us and our shop to develop Grants bugs and free range heritage chooks feels absolutely right. Change is in the air and when we move we tend to move fast. It will make for an interesting year no doubt! <br /><br />xx<br /><br />xxEmma Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696381837942950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-24508158442854433092015-01-09T04:38:57.035+10:002015-01-09T04:38:57.035+10:00I pop by often but haven't commented for a whi...I pop by often but haven't commented for a while.

My children are grown and I recently retired so many times I don't share their interests/concerns. Would you share the recipe for the bread in your header? - it's looks wonderful!
