My sister, brother, and I are standing on the sidewalk at our old house on a warm winter day. I'm wearing hand-me-down jeans that are literally roled up 6 inches, a dirty blue coat (that I remember fondly), stringy hair, and a ginormous smile. My sister has the perm of all perms. My brother is trying to look cool but is still young enough not to. And my dog Krispie (name after the cereal, naturally) is even there standing at attention. It's totally unplanned, unaffected, and just us being us. Forget those family portraits with the frilly dresses and forced smiles. I'll take my stringy hair any day.joannagFri, 14 Nov 2008 08:51:22 -0000http://carriedanielle.disqus.com/downshifting_to_a_simpler_life_by_working_from_home/#comment-3770110I made this choice about a year and a half ago. It's not always easy but I know it's right for me and my family. Thanks for sharing your story. I know there are a lot of souls out there searching for the courage to do the same (Traci!).joannagFri, 14 Nov 2008 08:35:45 -0000http://carriedanielle.disqus.com/note_to_self_this_is_not_what_you8217re_looking_for/#comment-3264013Traci, I love the idea of journaling the Daily Q&A.
