a thank you to all of you.

i just wanted to say that all the blogs i've linked to from my own ... well, they are so informative and inspiring. most of them written by wise women older than myself .... whose words i'm heeding at the young age of 28 (though not as young as i would have liked to be ... fantasies of laura ingalls and anne of green gables come to mind ...!). still, young enough to have time to observe, absorb, organize, and put into practice. i may not own a home yet. i may not yet have children. but i'm soaking it all up like a sponge. if i'm not posting here, i'm definitely watching ... always. thank you from the bottom of my heart for being who you are ... all is not lost. when some days i worry about the state of people today ... i remember all of you and all of the people who you influence, and all of the people they influence, and so on. for those of you with children.... thanks for raising them the "right" way regardless of what "trends" the world spins on. my blog wouldn't even be the simpleton it is without the support you unknowingly give me day in and day out, as i struggle through newly awakened eyes to enter the door to a world that's still there ... if only you LOOK with everything you've got ... including your very soul. Rhonda, I thank you most of all .... without finding your "Down to Earth" I never would have found everyone else's wonderful ideas, thoughts, knowledge, and skills. You are truly one of a kind.
