Stepping Stones
Stepping Stones
I received a comment from a reader asking why I call my home in the country “Stepping Stones”. When John, my husband, and I moved to our current home in the country, I saw this, though a return to the nature I so love and in which I grew up, as a new beginning. So I named our home and land, Stepping Stones, defined as “an advantageous position from which to reach a goal.” My goal is to live at Stepping Stones in serenity, joy, and contentment. And like any living organism, I will continue to grow. For one of the things I learned in Life 101, is that I will be "grown-up". I will always be a work in progress; both literally and figuratively. And therefore, I will seek progress and no longer perfection as attempted in my past. And so the name of my home, Stepping Stones, is pregnant with meaning and possibilities for my life.

I wish I could write as well as you! Your final sentence, "And so the name of my home, Stepping Stones, is pregnant with meaning and possibilities for my life" is beautiful to me!
Right on, Darling!
Thank you for your comment. I hope the pregnancy bears fruit.
