Here's the post: http://paperturtle.blogspot.com/2011/08/writing-on-wall-invitation-and-giveaway.html<br /><br />She asked for one word from each blog friend and I gave her HAPPY in all caps and really big. And I'd offer the same word for you. I hope that you can be happy in your new craft room. That it will chase all the depression and dark clouds away. And if you want a quote - the one that I gave you on a canvas is still the most appropriate I can think of for you!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-4811387916984378662013-10-17T05:06:00.490-04:002013-10-17T05:06:00.490-04:00I hope you will invite me to your new blog.

I spent all day Saturday (literally 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.) driving and moving younger two daughters into college and all day Sunday (again quite literally) cleaning, doing laundry, making beds. Three beds stripped down to the mattresses and everything washed - sheets, blankets, fleece throws... Rachel and Becca are the worst kind of pack rats - they don't throw anything away, including old receipts, tags off their new clothing, etc. Cleaning their room was exhausting!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-17673565069039886962013-08-25T21:08:51.378-04:002013-08-25T21:08:51.378-04:00(Hugs) Bernice... not blogging every day, but a su...(Hugs) Bernice... not blogging every day, but a successful month nonetheless, I think. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179157859926062726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-44802955261801850122013-08-25T21:08:08.961-04:002013-08-25T21:08:08.961-04:00Not gone away, entirely, but diminished.

Occasionally I wonder why. 23 years ago I gave birth to my first child. 5 years ago I sent that child off to college. 1 year ago I helped her move to her own apartment outside of Washington D.C. That same month, my youngest two started college. Two days from now I will take those younger two to college (first away experience for one of them) and will have my first taste of empty nest. Two days ago I was totally looking forward to that - in fact, couldn't wait. Today I'm less certain about the whole thing.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-32269132939817208802013-08-21T07:31:01.598-04:002013-08-21T07:31:01.598-04:00No wands here.

Believe me if I had one I'd freeze today - it is my last "easy" day before the craziness of moving the girls off to college and the frenzy of late summer/early fall travel for work starts. I won't sit still and just breathe again until November... I'm sad to see Summer closing out so quickly. This year was a good one. And autumn always makes me a little melancholy. I hope you ENJOY the season to the fullest. Honor the time that you have scheduled for play -you'll be so much happier for doing it!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-47526805670570997782013-08-21T06:19:10.883-04:002013-08-21T06:19:10.883-04:00No, I don't seem to have found a 'pause...No, I don't seem to have found a 'pause' button yet.

There are a series of chapters about the Noble Truths. First Noble Truth- Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Second Noble Truth- Clinging is suffering (this is mostly what my mind went to when I read your post about holding on loosely). Third Noble Truth- Peace of mind and happiness are possible in this life.<br /><br />It's an excellent and easy read. I'm not good at practicing it myself, but I try....and I highly recommend the book. I think you might like it. It's supportive and it's one of those books that makes you feel better just reading it, even in small doses.Julie J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16600053850224320265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-68238167632737199732013-08-13T09:47:03.028-04:002013-08-13T09:47:03.028-04:00With school starting this week (where I live) this...With school starting this week (where I live) this lesson would be so appropriate for the parents to hear. <br />You can raise the child the way he should go & then you have to let them go & trust God for the rest!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!krcmasterpiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507600072493974487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863037454625522723.post-6486381528991637072013-08-13T00:45:19.349-04:002013-08-13T00:45:19.349-04:00Oh how True!
