I LOVE living in the country. I Love to sew and dig in my garden and create projects around the house and just spend my days with my two little best friends. I sometimes feel guilty for doing so little each day while everyone else is working at their fancy offices or at the gym or going out to lunch with friends or colleagues. I feel like maybe I have gotten too simple? So if you want, you can come spend a day with me and dig in my garden and if you really want to, you can finish sewing my kids' halloween costumes.Jecca Lee Ivie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883909639129946822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521869724995568339.post-23968822653782940232008-10-03T00:48:00.000-04:002008-10-03T00:48:00.000-04:00For me it's about balance and control.

Self control and sometimes going against what's popular is important as well. I think smart phones are cool, but I think they provide distractions that I don't want in my life so I chose a super simple cheap phone. More isn't always better. A friend sent me this link today, I think it's fitting for this post.<BR/><BR/>http://www.storyofstuff.com/Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158707437419714852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521869724995568339.post-6008482507580826632008-10-02T22:46:00.000-04:002008-10-02T22:46:00.000-04:00although it's "one more thing to do" I'm glad the ...although it's "one more thing to do" I'm glad the blogging world has let me sneak some catch up peeks into your life...I'm happy to have you as a link :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753134832662078001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521869724995568339.post-70792313759421008652008-10-02T02:08:00.000-04:002008-10-02T02:08:00.000-04:00i get to man the chickens... and I've wanted a pet...i get to man the chickens... and I've wanted a pet pig for a long time. I go weeks sometimes without getting on the various facebook/gchat/ I even leave my cell phone at home... I just want to BREATHE from the world. Does it sound weird that when I do I feel that same kind of renewal as if i'd gone to the temple?! This will also go back to my deep rooted desire to get out, move somewhere isolated and LIVE. adonde vamos?!M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02144283391718718654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521869724995568339.post-4421915911273570832008-10-01T16:35:00.000-04:002008-10-01T16:35:00.000-04:00I am so glad that you wrote so poetically my feeli...I am so glad that you wrote so poetically my feelings down on paper...web paper.

It seems that we are so caught up and trying to keep up with the world and technology and our friendships have become so virtual that a lot of the beauty has been taken out. So...I'm with you on that. The question is...what do we do now. Turning back on the progress is not the answer, but what is? Call me sometime and let's discuss it.Schlofmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933102976249055553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521869724995568339.post-41769290968913653162008-09-30T22:58:00.000-04:002008-09-30T22:58:00.000-04:00Heather, that is so well said and I completely agr...Heather, that is so well said and I completely agree with you. Simplicity and self-sufficiency bring a greater satisfaction and raise our quality of life much more than many of the technical innovations we have become so dependent on. When you said reminds me also of President Uchtdorf's talk on Saturday about our desire to create as well. I miss you and I'm sorry everything fell through last weekend. We need to catch up soon, maybe another slumber party.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460758548094586337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521869724995568339.post-90732568885339448962008-09-30T22:56:00.000-04:002008-09-30T22:56:00.000-04:00I think the real trick to to find that peace among...I think the real trick to to find that peace amongst the bustle.. good luck my friendAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436670824377969454noreply@blogger.com
