Home Again, Home Again
By Lynn, on January 27th, 2008
And there’s no place like home. No matter how wonderful a place you’ve been or how necessary a place you’ve been, there’s no place like home.

I went to work with a somewhat heavy heart. All you need to do is read my rambling thoughts from this morning (i.e. last post) to figure that out, but I did make it through the work shift and husband seems to have gotten plenty of sound sleep today. Hopefully he’ll be better in the morning. He’s sleeping even now.
Life is beautiful. It’s true. It’s worth living. We better enjoy every moment and try to be in the moment!
Some things that touched my heart today:
- A lady who smiled a sweet smile at me even though she was wearing oxygen and couldn’t get around very well.
- An adorable little toddler dressed in a tiger-looking snow suit, sitting in the grocery cart and giving me the best smile ever because his mom just bought him a cupcake and I was the one who had the privilege of handing it to him.
- A quiet 30ish lady who brings her grandmother (?) shopping for groceries, regularly, and is just as sweet and kind to that little elderly lady as if it were the first time she had ever taken her out shopping
- A man who ordered rye bread, but then noted his wife looking at the whole wheat, and upon finding out she liked it better said, “Make that whole wheat, please.”
- Coming home and seeing my little sweetpea reading an old Little Golden book illustrated by Eloise Wilkin.
- Having a home to come home to.

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

I was happy you could see the good in people and their Christ-like qualities! There is indeed, much happiness to be found…when we look! I’m glad you have that opportunity at Whole Foods.
Happy Monday to you friend!

One of the best things about my job is the people. I love being a part of that.
