I know there is a rhyme and reason for every season, sometimes I wonder why there aren't more rhyme's... You handled this so beautifully with the children, thank goodness for the most part they bounce back easily. I know the next home you find will be just that a "home" filled with love and laughter and more memories. At least our memories no one can take away.... you know where I am email anytime... hugs and hugs ~lynne~Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01257730471888896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-63540413564097472012011-09-12T08:17:26.661-06:002011-09-12T08:17:26.661-06:00Life just isn't fair sometimes, like now for y...Life just isn't fair sometimes, like now for you and your children.

But, as this chapter closes and a new one begins, I can't help but feel a little excited for you too. Your journey is shifting, but who's to say it won't be more exciting, more spectacular and that your new gardens won't be even better ? <br /><br />I will pray that the kids adapt quickly and that their new home will bring about the fresh new start and happiness that you all deserve !<br /><br />genagenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107578420056161144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-7935100318131750852011-09-11T04:01:06.012-06:002011-09-11T04:01:06.012-06:00Hi Tootsie!

Your garden is amazing! but with challenges that you're facing, just remember that there will be no "best" if you can not do better. :) I'd like to also share a thought from Michel de Montaigne...he said..."The value of life lies, not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long, yet live very little. Satisfaction in life depends not on the number of your years, but on your will."<br /><br />Thanks and take care!Kingdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640845879459123926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-9828491169812601302011-09-10T15:41:14.330-06:002011-09-10T15:41:14.330-06:00I'm so saddened to hear about the kids, but wi...I'm so saddened to hear about the kids, but with a Mom like you, I'm not going to worry.Your garden is so beautiful and your yard and walk ways, but you seem to never slow down so it will only be a short time until you have an even more amazing garden and home.

I am both sorry and thankful for your family. But you are a strong person, i am sure your young kids have a good mother to cling on to for these times of trials. You are moving on and the garden is all in your head, it will be sprouting again wonderfully wherever you put it. We are all here to help and cheer you up. If only i am nearer i can lend you a hand. My batchmate in HS was with me yesterday and told me of her separation too, and she was stronger than ever. Thanks God you are well, we will pray for you.
