I have you on my side bar but don't always get over here. I am so glad I did. What a perfect way to look at things. Yes the crisis breaks all of our hearts, especially that we have lost so many people fighting for them. However, I too am going to look at life as you have in this post. With your permission I will do one on my own blog and give you credit for it. Again, love your look at life. Keep it up. Your house will too soon be smudge free and quiet.bettyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715562655133540047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115305384983859877.post-30459096989158679192014-08-17T21:42:00.518-04:002014-08-17T21:42:00.518-04:00Hi Stephanie!

My home will never grace the pages of a magazine, but that is perfectly alright with me. I think you home is beautiful. ~~~I'm Carolyn from the old blog Simple Southern Cottage. I can no longer access my old blogs and Blogger will not help me whatsoever. And it's all because of issues between Google/Blogger and Yahoo. I finally just gave up and started a new blog. I am in the process of moving old posts to my new one. I hope you will visit me . myfarmhouseblue.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115305384983859877.post-48395174801546839392014-08-16T11:25:15.554-04:002014-08-16T11:25:15.554-04:00Yep! So good to face honest thoughts….REAL though...Yep! So good to face honest thoughts….REAL thoughts! I have been thinking the same a lot lately. WHAT does it matter how my curtains look? What color my paint is? When there are SO many in the world with no windows or walls?? I never take clean running water for granted though… every time i step into a shower, i say 'Thank You.' It really is a luxury. One time my sister was questioning too, why she was putting so much effort into choosing a rug when there was so much strife in the world? I said, "Maybe it's because that is the ONLY thing we have some control over?"<br /><br />We recently moved from our beloved farm, up to a cabin in the woods for retirement. It's been a struggle to adapt to the change… (it's a newer house, with no 'soul' like the farm had)…. but I am trying to really be thankful for everything here. Painting is a sort of therapy for me… so I paint away, as I pray!! <br /><br />Thanks for being a 'stay at home' mom… and loving it! SO important! I was too… raised 3 boys. Now we have 8 grandkids. They all have stay at home moms too… Thankful for that!! Stay focused on the important things… and go ahead and love your creativity as well. That is God Given. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115305384983859877.post-23776303993692036672014-08-13T21:37:49.281-04:002014-08-13T21:37:49.281-04:00Stephanie, this is the best blog post I have ever ...Stephanie, this is the best blog post I have ever read on a DIY/home blog.

I too, am trying to change my way of thinking of all of our possessions, house, attitudes about life. I love God and am serving Him here in our part of eastern USA and trying to be a mentor to young ladies. Your home is lovely, you have changed a lot to make it so bright and light. You are making an impact in the life of your family, teaching your children, and loving your husband, that does make a difference in your community.Instagram.com/melissasnoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389672466065251231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115305384983859877.post-16338640561608545392014-08-13T07:46:38.366-04:002014-08-13T07:46:38.366-04:00Thank you Stephanie for sharing your feelings.

There was messes everywhere I looked. Right now I am just thankful for all the little people and sometimes big that make my home what it is. Without them here my home would only be a shell.

Your home isn't perfect... it's beautiful, and I love your ideas and decor... but it's still a home... it's still real. <br /><br />This blog post has shown me just how "real" you are... thank you... and I share your thoughts. I have a daughter in West Africa right now (Peace Corps) and as I read about so many suffering and dying from ebola, I realize how unimportant the little projects are that take my time (and cause me anxiety)... <br /><br />Yes, you are a wise woman, thank you for a lovely post.Maurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548744408647539299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115305384983859877.post-57515645823552414682014-08-12T19:20:12.558-04:002014-08-12T19:20:12.558-04:00That sounds like a neat group to be a part of.

We are a small group of 200 and our group is about organizing and styling our homes. We recently banded together and raised money for one of our members who's life has gone to crap. Sometimes we all need reminders about stopping and appreciating what we DO have and not so much about making it perfect. Thanks for sharing the REAL you and inspiring us all.oliveoyl64https://www.blogger.com/profile/08043694366488352015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115305384983859877.post-31445108986015198542014-08-12T18:44:56.110-04:002014-08-12T18:44:56.110-04:00Well said.
