This blog's very good advice to that effect applies whether we are 'normal' or otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304286238611054455.post-56368905622479426972008-07-11T19:13:00.000-04:002008-07-11T19:13:00.000-04:00I agree with you, melanie lynne.

What a wonderful way to put it! <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you enjoyed reading the links we posted. I agree that they are beautiful, each in their own unique way. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, we are all thankful Ad was able to open her heart and mind to Rob's request. As she said, it would have been so easy to ignore it...<BR/><BR/>And thank you for spreading the word!Maureen Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575825605911662634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304286238611054455.post-60050122955086108792008-07-07T11:29:00.000-04:002008-07-07T11:29:00.000-04:00It is definitely the small things in life that are...It is definitely the small things in life that are the grandest. My brother told me about your site. I spent a few hours this morning looking into the many links you have posted. They are so beautiful and yet so different. I found Ideal-Way to be quite unique. And in keeping with your "What Kind of World Do I Want?", apparently, Robert's aunt saw something grand from a small request.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck to all of you. I will spread the word.

Enjoy the people in your life, and set aside a block of time every day just to absorb the beauty that surrounds you. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing what will fall into your lap if you do.Maureen Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575825605911662634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304286238611054455.post-7152736504191470982008-07-05T16:47:00.000-04:002008-07-05T16:47:00.000-04:00Hmmm...sometimes I don't even take time to notice ...Hmmm...sometimes I don't even take time to notice the birds, nevermind constructing something to attract them!
