Thankful
By admin, on November 18th, 2009
Thankful today, for many things.
- a job at home
- home — warm and cozy and where I’ve lived with my sweetie since the first year of our marriage
- a daughter who homeschools
- and has three adoring big brothers
- my three sons
- an absolutely amazing homeschool group
- my favorite tree, our Natchez crepe myrtle, which is dancing in red and gold leaves right now
- sweet and spicy chicken in the crockpot
- rice and stir fry to go with it
- another day
I hope you have many things to be happy about today.
By the way, my friend Leslie maintains an awesome blog and it has been nominated for a Homeschool Blog Award! Her blog, Joyful Mother of Six Children is worth visiting even if you don’t vote. But I voted for her for Best Homeschool Mom for 2009.  She’s done a ton of thoughtful and careful mothering and homeschooling this year! Well, actually a bunch of years. Yaay Leslie!
Anyway, I’m not telling you to vote or for whom to vote, but you might enjoy visiting HSBA Get Your Vote On! to see all the blogs out there that keep others inspired.

About Lynn 
Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.

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

Sow a character, reap a destiny.
