We are a lot more a like than you would think. My kids call me Roseanne. Don't know if you had that TV show there with Roseanne Barr or if you ever saw it, but yeah that is pretty much me with a skinnier hubby and one less kid lol~ You have come a huge way in a very short time so give yourself a little break!

You captured these essential states of heart and mind in such elegant, simple language. <br /><br />It just seems to me that the biggest things we could hope for, come down to things that are ever more simple. And yet they must be earned in all those years we live. <br /><br />Your comment about elusive peace was touching; many people regard peace as something that comes with age, like fatigue or mellowing. It actually takes focus and motivation to change. At the same time, each step toward it seems a step away from harder life. <br /><br />Thank you, LeanneSusan Bonifanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140265430286280374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-25418391656987418022015-11-04T20:51:15.212+08:002015-11-04T20:51:15.212+08:00thanks so much - your linky is great and it was lo...thanks so much - your linky is great and it was lovely having you visit :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-22190826835699763612015-11-04T20:50:48.211+08:002015-11-04T20:50:48.211+08:00thanks Debbie - I think it's just a such a gre...thanks Debbie - I think it's just a such a great time to be alive and we need to remind ourselves of that occasionally!Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-89056901823239145882015-11-04T20:50:12.459+08:002015-11-04T20:50:12.459+08:00thanks so much Terri - I think it's a good man...thanks so much Terri - I think it's a good mantra for our age and stage :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-87281132709734594272015-11-04T19:45:32.354+08:002015-11-04T19:45:32.354+08:00What a beautiful touching post!
