Unwavering

As I meander through the pages written in journals from someone's life of long ago, I discover there are unwavering bonds that link us from the past to the present.

Love, family, home and health are the constants that transcend generations.

As we struggle through tighter budgets and tough economic times remember these enduring and unchanging values will consummate our survival.

Happy Valentine's Day

And what lovely inspiration, to take from long ago journals.

Thank you.

What a great post. You are so very right. Things don't change all that much, over the centuries. What matters most ....remains the same.

Wonderful post! It is always amazing to me that the "best posts" are the ones where very few words are needed to convey a message that has been around for centuries. Thank you for reminding us of that.

Yes - so true. And thank you so much for the picture of blooming tulips in the midst of my snow-covered life.

You forgot cheeseburgers.

Otherwise, right on the money, when there isn't much of it to go around anymore! (Other than that tenacious one percent who seem to have it all, save maybe for decent sized amigdala.)

Beautiful post but had to comment on "Prelude"....a nest is all about the home, family and where love rests…I too collect nests for as long as I can remember, always have been attached in some way to them never knowing why until not long ago…they are to me a symbol of all that is significant in life. Thanks for sharing your lovely earthly treasures.

Hugs Annabelle

These very strong bonds cannot be broken I think Susan...and to just imagine who would've written these very special words...what they were thinking...Love does indeed transcend the generations. I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day as well dear Susan...Dzintra XX And I think your new look is just lovely!!!

Such true words and relevant in the past and the present. It seems these tough times remind us to get back to basics...and what really matters the most. It's people that matter the most, the human heart, community, not money. A great and inspiring post...beautiful picture.

Hi Susan I love the new look you!!
your words are beautiful, and the journals are so right....I think the work that you do, and the vintage memories that you come across have enhanced your own perceptions further, making you such a wise and inspiring person.
Love and hugs

Beautiful.

I love to read female travel diaries from long ago, and see the bounds.

Happy Valentine.
