This was such a sweet and vivid story, Kelly. And so relatable! You are an incredible story teller and your words bring everything to life. Gratitude is such a powerful feeling to incorporate into our lives and your words have done such a great job of that. I’m in love with this story.

Yes, anything with acreage is a dream for so many of us! The new neighborhoods are nice in so many ways, but there is nothing more idyllic than than family "farm."

This. This is one of my favorite of your essays - and I have quite a few favs. Such a good reminder (and in Lent, too) to be grateful for the dreams we are currently living.

One of the best quotes from Ethics of the fathers - who is rich? He who is content with his lot in life.

And you, have quite a lot.
