Surprise is perfection! :-) Hi Tammy. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this one. That is so true what you say... reading about other similar experiences creates a common bond. A porch on every side of the house? That's great. You can follow the sun or follow the shade. What a great idea! Hi Tom.

Hi Tammy.

Well...they all are. You know when I read that others experience the same emotions such as I ...it is comforting. Your memories are great. My biggest reflection is of the past memories I have of sitting on a front porch at my grandparents. I have such happy times there. When I designed my current home I made sure I had a porch on every side of the house. When things get tough, and I need my space, I will venture outside to sit. My children usually know what I am doing and they respect my silence. Life does continue to move right along as we have these moments. The good thing, we can hop right back on the train and keep on going without missing a thing. .-= Tammy-Cricket´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ACricketInAGarden/~3/qvU6aET1B0Y/simple-things.html" rel="nofollow">Simple Things...</a> =-.

You've got me to thinking that even when things turn out the way we "expect" we aren't necessarily going to know how we will feel until it happens. We can't even plan our response to successful intentions. Hi Tom.

Encourage the unfolding; trust it." I dig this big time. This wisdom is what keeps me embracing the unknown especially with how my intentions turn out. I think it's the only sane way to live. I loved the Waltons too. I think many of us wanted to be in that family. <abbr><em>Tom Volkar / Delightful Work’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DelightfulWork/~3/N4u37UrXiLQ/" rel="nofollow">Five Disturbing Ways To Make More Money</a></abbr></em> “There is courage in not always knowing where you are headed.

You have some great memories to share. Farm life is something near and dear to my heart -- leaving the farm and heading to college must have been a big change for you. And, people still showing up on your wedding day, in the middle of a snowstorm, so great! You and your wife had some dedicated support,that's for sure. Hi Lance.
