We would see the good certainly outweighs the bad. <br />A "pollyanna" sort of nature were you look for the silver lining in life isn't at all bad.

We don't necessarily put words on all the delightful sights we see as we grow up, but they seem to make an eternal home in our souls. We greet familiar ebbs and flows as we grow older and wiser.

You build an uncomplicated life around being home in the summer...doing crafts, reading books for pleasure, gardening, and cooking. Then, as the leaves flutter down, you gear up for the coming school year. It's more like New Year's Day for students and teachers---full of beginnings and new energy.<br />Your posts always get me thinking!!<br />Hugs,<br />CourtneySassafras and Winterberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153493021653446039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-37328767309539310912011-08-05T22:46:45.075-07:002011-08-05T22:46:45.075-07:00what a beautiful post and thoughts!
