Maybe we can all find a way to get back to a way of life that fosters those type of feelings and memories...for us and for our children.~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17920396616170630662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6491229434057746122.post-26483347918936429732009-07-10T21:43:41.670-05:002009-07-10T21:43:41.670-05:00I never knew the "front porch" days but ...I never knew the "front porch" days but i've seen enough andy griffith to know that mayberry was a realy cool place.We were in simpson county the other day...way out in the sticks...state road 383 lol!!...we passed this house along the way where about 6 people were sittin out on the porch "visitin" and they all smiled and waved as we passed.As i smiled and waved back i thought how cool is that ya know...these people didn't know me from adam but the vibe i got from them was like i could've pulled in to the drive, got out and sat up there with em drinkin tea, shootin the breeze and i would've been welcome there.A "simple" act from people livin a "simple" life have given me a feeling and a memory i'll never forget.saybrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704911081315806811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6491229434057746122.post-32765897288296079612009-07-07T10:23:12.873-05:002009-07-07T10:23:12.873-05:00Good post, Deidra!Good post, Deidra!Elysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417564858613501645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6491229434057746122.post-41461510048434529732009-07-02T14:45:30.770-05:002009-07-02T14:45:30.770-05:00I see this trend too....although I remember it fro...I see this trend too....although I remember it from the 70's too when the first wave hit and my Mom baked bread and made bean spreads for my lunches...actually I think it's a theme that cycles though society! Thankfully I'm a homebody type so I have no problem with too much to do....I simply decline...a lot. For me it is more complicated with things! I do try not to "have" too much or multiples of things. I did a post a bit back about my garage clean out. It was an emotional event in many ways. Letting go of things is hard! I had to keep reminding myself that all those things will bless another and that's why I'm here....to love and serve the Lord and bless others as He blesses me, not to hang onto "things"! Any time I read or watch from counttries living in poverty....I feel I have WAY too much! I have so much room to grow in this area! Have a great weekend, friend =)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959317480680118284noreply@blogger.com
