I've hung onto every word, every piece of advice, and I'm learning to be kinder to myself and know my limitations. <br />Thank you, Rhonda. For sharing your life, your passions, and all that you give to us through your writing. I start my day with your words and look forward to many more to come.<br />Take care of yourself and enjoy each day and its beauty. :)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141679376036235962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-44246886997644447082011-11-17T10:20:42.399+10:002011-11-17T10:20:42.399+10:00Dearest Rhonda... your blog gives me so much hope...Dearest Rhonda... your blog gives me so much hope! While my Mothering of children at home is not anywhere near over yet, we have changes in the works (oldest engaged, next oldest off to Australia for 8 months). I often find myself thinking about the future and wondering what may be in store for me. I don't dread it - I look forward to retirement! I feel like the best part of my life is yet to come and your dear friend, Blog has introduced me to that idea. Yippee! While I'm not wishing my life away (oh no, I"m far too busy having fun to do that), I'm certainly, secretly really excited about the future :) Thank you, DTE Blog! Hugs, and glad you are rested and ready to rumble!!!!! :)Little Home In The Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542813650753976168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-54240889077358195992011-11-17T09:35:06.796+10:002011-11-17T09:35:06.796+10:00Phew!! ditto to all the folk who also thought this...Phew!! ditto to all the folk who also thought this was a 'Good Bye' post.

Whew!!! I was so glad that did not happen. If it is your wish some day, naturally we will say a fond good bye ...but that is not to be yet. Thank you! :) :) I too have tweaked favorite recipes as my daughter now keeps me on my toes too! She comes up with new ideas from her own kitchen and motivates her Mom! :) Now she is also my mentor as well as you are mine and I am her mentor at times. We never stop learning as long as we have breath. That is part of what makes life so fun! Your post was a sweet reflection of your thoughts. I am glad you got some rest...although you couldn't get much as yesterday was also busy for you! It was very good to see your printed word this afternoon.

I was talking to my Mum on the phone last night and she was telling me about this wonderful and inspirational woman that she had read about in Women's Weekly. I knew immediately who she was talking about as I am a huge fan and visit this site every day. <br /><br />We had a wonderful chat about everything we've learnt and everything we would like to learn and try because of you. So it's brought generations together, in both old and new mediums.<br /><br />BTW, I've been reading some of your first entries recently. There was one in particular, where you asked for comments and wondered if you were just writing just to yourself.
