Some days I get antsy reading the headlines on the sidebar of this blog.
GMO foods and crops .. to soak or not to soak grains .. raw -vs- pasteurized milk .. toxic money .. etc. Yes, it is good to be informed. Taking in the news and trying to eke out a
common sense approach to life is important to having a quality life. There is just too much living to do that one needs not to be in fear of living. Just breathing is dangerous it seems some days. I get the most enjoyment trying to figure out how to make products at home. Be it soap or green cleaners. Trying to save money and not always needing the latest gadget. Being content with thrift store shopping. Growing as much food as possible for summer use and winter storage. Can I do it all? NO! .. and I have learned that being a good homemaker means not only keeping busy at home with the garden, etc. .. but also seeking the best local produce, eggs, meat, etc. in the community and not worrying that I can't do everything. Big sigh :)

No, we can't do everything, can we? We all just do the best we can. I think you summed it up well.
Well put, Mrs Mac. It is a journey, and the ride is meant to be enjoyable - and travelled one step at a time.
Merry Christmas :-)
I'm totally with you. We try our best to do what we can. Kudos to you.
Doing what I can with what I have where I am with all my heart...
