"Welcome to my world."

I am attempting to make the most of this unpredictable life. I am raising a young family along side my wonderful husband, and like many of you I am trying to leave the next generation better than the last one. This is not an easy feat...it takes real guts some days. From one side of the spectrum to the other there are multiple things to consider. So let's be practical about the whole thing.

I personally am inspired by the simple feats and accomplishments of everyday life. They are wins in the struggle for our goals. Whatever those may be for you, I think we can agree that moment when you stand back and admire the perfection of a job well done, it is satisfying. Practical satisfaction needs more recognition and so that is what I am doing.

I am making attempts at the ways I feel I can produce some pleasures of a simple life. I am recognizing the impact that has to shape the future. My future and my family's. So what will those choices be? Follow my blog Tended Garden and be informed, challenged and entertained and perhaps you too will find some of the joy in the midst of it all.
