Simplicity!

I love this word!! Simplicity!! To me, it does not mean easy, but it means happiness. Being simple. Yep that's me. I love my small house. Sure it would be nice to have one extra room and a little more closet space. But not having them, just means I need to simplify even more. Without so many things, I have more time for family and important things. At this age, I am in love with being at home. The simple home life is for me. Praying, reading, baking, canning, crocheting, journaling, working on Christmas presents for next Christmas, working on my Advent Journal for next Advent, trying to learn to sew, the list goes on. Things that I love doing right in the comfort of my small home. I often think about how small our home is, but how full of love. There were many years of homeschooling right in this confined little space. Too bad Elizabeth did not enjoy homeschooling in the more recent years. But that is okay. I still know we did the right thing. Sometimes I feel worried about her being in the big school setting. But now God has given me so much comfort in granting the blessing of having her Daddy work right there at her school. Mark just found out today that he got the job of being lead custodian at Columbus North. YIPPEE!!!!!! God is sooooo very good and rightly to be praised.

Before I sign off, I want to say a BIG thank you to Sissy Linny for my beautiful new white Mantilla. What a precious gift to me!!!!!!!! I love you Sissy!!!!!!!
