I am lucky at this point in my life to be able to make my own choices. Sometimes I don't know what they should be and sometimes I change my choices, but that in itself a luxury to me.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810126999695733332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-36860951413424379232009-10-25T03:11:45.345-07:002009-10-25T03:11:45.345-07:00What a great post!

It sure is busy though :) I try to take time every day to deeply look into my sons eyes and tell him I love him.

No TV here either, I devour books, and I don't care for buying 'stuff'. One day I'll tell my story of my quest-journey leading to my peace and joy, and dreams that came true. Now if I could just rein in that crazy cowboy, only a little, we could enjoy some rest also. Your baby kitty sure is growing up too fast! Is he still tormenting you at night?

We chose to keep it that way despite a rise in finances. Home-made fun rules around here.

I think I'll add that to our beginning traditions for our family.<br /><br />We work so hard to keep our home a place of refuge and rest from the world, but you are right, it is such a struggle. I too do better when I stay and rest....where I'm supposed to be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919898011846664325noreply@blogger.com
