What a great post. Thank you for being so honest. What you said is so true and really does make me think about what is important in life and how easy it is to be caught up in unimportant things that only make happiness more difficult.

I have never in my whole life commented on a blog, but I want to tell you that I am certain my life is a little more colorful, creative, and joyful than it would be if I hadn't found your feed. Thank you for so generously sharing your life with us.

So refreshing to hear. Things we often know, but are so easily forgotten while we’re chasing that carrot. Thanks for the inspiring reminder 🙂

well said, lady! Made me think of something C.S. Lewis wrote: “It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half hearted creatures fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by an offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

I can’t help but think it’s a good thing that our Creator doesn’t allow us to be fully satisfied with anything in this world….

Thanks, as always, for sharing!

As an older mom of 3 — I feel for you young gals!!! When our kids were small – birthday parties was a cake and a few friends over – nothing major. When they were young, I refused cable tv in our home for YEARS!!!!! True story – Comcast guys drive up one day wanting to sell us their product – they were SHOCKED that we didn’t have cable!!! In the car, as teens, we NEVER listened to SL100 – our local “cool” radio station–too much filth years ago!!! Years ago, if someone’s home burned, (for example) we may hear about it on the news if our parents let us stay up – we would be sad and go to bed – now -we can upload the video of the house burning and read reports / comments and just get too much!!!!! My husband and I work in Nicaragua one week a year – they are so CONTENT!!! They aren’t rushing around to soccer/ballet/music lessons – they are living life . Now, they may be in a hut with a dirt floor, but does it matter??? We try to enjoy everyday that God gives us!! Hang in there – kids grow up and move out and you date your husband again!!! It’s glorious!!! Ps / my ceiling fans are horrible but who cares???!!!!!
