We need life to get easier at this age. <br /><br />Japan is breaking my heart. The tragedy and the way they react...still calm and peaceful and with dignity and respect. I admire them so much and wish we could be a little more like they are...<br /><br />Loved this post :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440751066438510282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-74102697563742557492011-03-14T10:06:58.153-07:002011-03-14T10:06:58.153-07:00Turning, turning, we come round right...that is ju...Turning, turning, we come round right...that is just it, isn't it!

It's th...Lovely and heartfelt thoughts, Connie. It's that feeling of "I wouldn't be who I am today if I didn't go through all that I did." I certainly didn't think I would be where I am today. I am so grateful everyday for my 'privledged life' even though I don't have a lot of money or a big house (or a Twiggy body anymore!) but, really, I can honestly say I AM HAPPY AND FEEL BLESSED! And I've met others like you who are kindred spirits.Kerry O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951445594586971908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-22771987733379166222011-03-13T21:41:36.501-07:002011-03-13T21:41:36.501-07:00...and to you....and to you.Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-86727369543033231522011-03-13T21:29:40.677-07:002011-03-13T21:29:40.677-07:00simplicity is perfection...that is my life lesson ...simplicity is perfection...that is my life lesson and it took me awhile to get there but now that I am I couldn't be happier.

I think sometimes it takes a big reality check like this devastating earthquake to make us all think about what really matters. a lot of us from CA have been in earthquakes, the worst for me was a 6.2. I cannot begin to comprehend an 8.9 or the tidal wave that came in after that, or the nuclear reactor spills happening after that, and it's just getting started. There is no telling how bad or how long for these poor people.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-73775903752574257232011-03-13T18:14:24.597-07:002011-03-13T18:14:24.597-07:00Connie, Great post.

Don't think I was there when my kids were little. <br />I don't know if I know a lot of rocks...but I have a minor in Natural Resources. I love rocks and I love caves and I learn about the environment wherever I am. Sounds like you know some things about it, too!

I believe we all tend to think we should be in a different place than life ends up taking us and yet we find out we are right where we were meant to be--that is definitely the definition of contentment to me :)Verde Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551515900687338284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-83221012735285344472011-03-13T09:02:05.103-07:002011-03-13T09:02:05.103-07:00Connie I suspect you have been "there" f...Connie I suspect you have been "there" for a long time.

I exercised hours each day while my husband was at work. the transitions we go through growing up. I feel as though I am still growing up!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13347204411744571682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-10791249696577779732011-03-13T08:41:17.768-07:002011-03-13T08:41:17.768-07:00Very profound post Connie. Thank you for sharing ...Very profound post Connie. Thank you for sharing and being so open and honest. What you write is so true and I try to "live in the moment", but am not always successful. The images from Japan are absolutely heart-wrenching and I cannot wrap my brain around the devastation and what the Japanese people and others there are going through as I write this. It is always in the back of my mind that something like this could happen where I live as well. I've been through a few large earthquakes and know how frightening it is, but they were nothing compared to the Japan earthquake. I pray I never have to find out what it's like. Have a beautiful Sunday. <br /><br />P.S. I hope Brownie is feeling MUCH better! xxxsusanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704084132045240366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-20490520154202882042011-03-13T05:13:00.521-07:002011-03-13T05:13:00.521-07:00On this Sunday morning when I read this post and a...On this Sunday morning when I read this post and after enjoying my 75TH birthday yesterday I was so impressed with what you wrote and truly agree with you on all counts.
