There was so much wisdom in these thoughts. I always enjoy reading your posts and as I have said before I think you should write a book and also illustrate it.

This year I want to do more RAKs--Random Acts of Kindness. I was inspired to so this more, as we had several occasions of random acts of kindness toward us while TJ &amp;amp; I were in the USA and traveling in December. I want to keep the circle of kindness going! :o) So sorry you&amp;#39;ve not been sleeping well. Do you have insomnia? Sleeping with a little lavender sachet near or under your pillow might help you drift off to slumber more. And  cup of chamomile tea soon before bedtime is a great calmer-down&amp;#39;er after a long, busy day. Hope you find some good rest soon. LOVE these recipes today, Marie. I have to see about those muffins especially. ;o) Oh, yes, let&amp;#39;s try to chat this week. I still have Tuesday and Thursday free in the afternoons, if that suits you too. Let me know your schedule. Look forward to catching up. :o) Happy week to you all there ((LOVE &amp;amp; BIG HUGS))</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/6655634201485792985/comments/default/7964921247402543632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/6655634201485792985/comments/default/7964921247402543632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/what-we-do.html?showComment=1327322566276#c7964921247402543632' title=''/><author><name>Tracy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U5U9rdHJQRk/ThxAseyNo0I/AAAAAAAAAA8/UaDmE3rXPKE/s220/AboutMeJuly2011_160.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/what-we-do.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-6655634201485792985' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/posts/default/6655634201485792985' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1903579060'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-3938698187738438383</id><published>2012-01-23T12:26:08.714Z</published><updated>2012-01-23T12:26:08.714Z</updated><title type='text'>I&amp;#39;m trying your rolls next weekend!</title><content type='html'>I&amp;#39;m trying your rolls next weekend!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/6655634201485792985/comments/default/3938698187738438383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/6655634201485792985/comments/default/3938698187738438383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/what-we-do.html?showComment=1327321568714#c3938698187738438383' title=''/><author><name>The Blonde Duck</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00085499120024055465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aGqPUf2sN64/SWLO_0VvxMI/AAAAAAAACGY/lVElOs2rrNM/S220/headshot+1.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ayearfromoakcottage.org/2012/01/what-we-do.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-6655634201485792985' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6123507346649841877/posts/default/6655634201485792985' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-715029313'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-2194296704107227218</id><published>2012-01-23T09:42:40.356Z</published><updated>2012-01-23T09:42:40.356Z</updated><title type='text'>Such a sweet blog today Marie.
