I'm feeling the challenges myself at the moment, so sending you virtual peppermint tea and a big hug.Earthenwitchhttp://earthenwitch.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060216394637237928.post-66441195995838281102012-03-15T11:28:46.146-07:002012-03-15T11:28:46.146-07:00we all have frustrated moments :-) and finding a b...we all have frustrated moments :-) and finding a balance between modern life and a simplified life is difficult... that's not good at your library!

Warm wishes for your husband's health, I hope you can work towards your dreams, write them down and pin the paper on the wall, look at it and visualise a positive outcome every day, it really works!henriettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074892292635873711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060216394637237928.post-46063811078584529132012-03-14T13:23:37.823-07:002012-03-14T13:23:37.823-07:00Ah thankyou alice, you know these comments have re...Ah thankyou alice, you know these comments have reminded me that it's really not too bad, and I was just having a frustrated moment. I wouldn't really change how we live (after all I did choose to simplify) I think it's just the struggle between really wishing I lived in another century, but also wanting to be part of the 21st, albeit in a medieaval kind of way. I really want to create the furure I want us all to be able to live.<br />Unfortunately our local library only lets you have half an hour free..and no coffee!!!henriettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074892292635873711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060216394637237928.post-41993419613988717772012-03-14T13:18:32.588-07:002012-03-14T13:18:32.588-07:00You know what, Fred is researching a bike powered ...You know what, Fred is researching a bike powered system...and a friend may have a small solar system to lend us...limited light in a summer wood might be a bit problematic... But yes, you're right its certainly not the technology I love, as you know I would always prefer a quill pen and oak gall ink to screen based writing, but sadly editors just haven't caught on....henriettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074892292635873711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060216394637237928.post-63137709063937096422012-03-14T01:51:40.091-07:002012-03-14T01:51:40.091-07:00I would love to live more simply...my husband and ...I would love to live more simply...my husband and I have many plans for when he is well again and we actually might have some money (maybe).

It's always lovely to read your blogs, but the draw is partly to your wonderful life without too much technology ;-) and I'm sure that all us avid readers will be here whether you post in another day or another month. Loved your article in JUNO. Keep smiling - it's Spring and we are lucky to be experiencing it in a real sense :-) xAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617109153936000235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060216394637237928.post-39383907302965832242012-03-12T16:05:48.576-07:002012-03-12T16:05:48.576-07:00Perhaps one day you will have a little solar panel...Perhaps one day you will have a little solar panel to charge your laptop . . . I once knew a guy who charged a battery to watch his TV by pedaling a bicycle . . .I think it is just getting used to being without the computer. After almost eight weeks away from it, except to quickly check emails and pay bills and taxes while in New Zealand last spring, I was really not happy to have the computer back at all as I had seen how much my time on it kept me trapped indoors. . . I think it is the connections that are made with blogging and writing and the internet that are missed and valued though, not the technology itself.laurelhttp://www.theforestgarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
