Things To Be Happy About
By Lynn, on September 27th, 2007
The last couple of days have been great, in spite of some health issues my husband deals with. I so much wish he did not have to deal with them, but he is brave and handles it with a nice attitude, and I try to be encouraging and keep looking up! What else can we do?
Anyway, the garden is bright and sunny today. I would not complain about rain, no! Still, one has to appreciate a sunny morning by the goldfish pond. I was happy to see one of my water hyacinths in bloom. Now lest you go out and buy any water hyacinths to place in any natural body of water, water hyacinth has been deemed one of the worst weeds in all the world! Mine grow in a very controlled atmosphere and I love the way they bloom. They are not going to take over the waterways here and they make me smile. Here’s a picture of the bloom I saw this morning.
I’m off to pick up a prescription this morning. Later on today I have to go to work. But it’s okay. I’ll pick an herb to study while I am working. One can do that where I work. Cool. I also had a nice conversation this morning with my best friend in the world. I have had some nice quiet time in the garden reading. I have a lot to be happy about today.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
