They were both so full of love for us. How I miss them. I imitate them in what I cook, what my house looks like, how I garden and my involvement at church and in the community. <br /><br />This was never a conscious thing, but these thoughts were spurred by your beautiful post. Thank you.<br /><br />It makes me wonder what my legacy will be. My grands may end up being 200 years behind the times!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388528649168161483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-42582164222137642012017-07-31T17:29:11.806-04:002017-07-31T17:29:11.806-04:00Beautiful and thought-provoking post.

I think we yearn for meaning because we have it so comfortable these days (relatively).

So many of my own thoughts and reflections were articulated beautifully here by you. As an idealist, I'm always struggling to accept -- to enjoy -- the reality of the time and place in which God has settled me, rather than longing for those "ideal" olden days. As you discussed, there's a rosy glow on those days that obscures the *less* rosy aspects of them, but there is definitely comfort and beauty and peace to be found in replicating some of the lovelier elements in our current chaotic day and age. <br /><br />Have you seen the story of the man who chooses to live as if it's the 1940s? You've probably come across it before, but I just saw this article about him for the first time recently. I find this so intriguing! http://dustyoldthing.com/cs-1946-house/Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544930173539144894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-37176813703834438252017-07-31T06:38:31.270-04:002017-07-31T06:38:31.270-04:00"...Instagram photos of beautiful vegetables ..."...Instagram photos of beautiful vegetables are showing up everywhere."<br /><br />We have all this technology, but no one takes pictures of it. We use it only to photograph vegetables and birds and smiling children. <br /><br />I loved this post. So true. So hopeful!<br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-73181075049511773382017-07-30T22:10:50.007-04:002017-07-30T22:10:50.007-04:00Today's post was perfect timing.

It was titled "What I Learned From Purging Most of My Stuff (and Why I Wish I Hadn't). It had a very good message, as did your post today. Sometimes it is not really about the things---but about what they represent to us.lejmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248900901037211499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-40148204634664903862017-07-30T19:50:41.125-04:002017-07-30T19:50:41.125-04:00I think the best woman of creating what you love w...I think the best woman of creating what you love was Tasha Tutor - I would have loved to visit with her, to sit in her garden.The Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548666978419775758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-54750777482976648472017-07-30T19:17:05.361-04:002017-07-30T19:17:05.361-04:00Beautiful words today.
