		<description>Susan,

I am nothing less than honored that you would like to use my post, and I think it will make a great piece of content for a site like yours.

Please do use it with my blessing. If you can just provide a link back to http://www.todayisthatday.com/blog/ that is more than sufficient.

On another note, I am actually in the market for house sitting jobs, so I&#039;ll be signing up as a member of your site as well.

We call that a win/win situation! :)

Thanks, Susan!</description>

		<description>Lorna,

It is certainly hard when your normal environment either goes away or becomes not so normal anymore!

However, you CAN adapt! It may take you a bit of trial and error to get into a new groove, but it is most definitely possible.

p.s. - Assuming that your morning sickness is due to pregnancy, Congratulations!! :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve found myself on the short end of the &quot;your routine is powered by your environment&quot; stick as of late.  My entire environment has been uprooted with computer issues, home improvement projects and morning sickness; and I am having one heck of a time getting back into some sort of routine.  I believe it is time to buckle down and get to work!</description>

		<description>Yes, it is, Nneka, and it is something that is easy &lt;b&gt;NOT&lt;/b&gt; to do as we all get used to the comings and goings in our own little corners of the universe.

It&#039;s good to bust out once in awhile and realize how things look from a different angle. :)</description>

		<description>Thanks, Gayla, I truly was.

And I love what you said about having the virtual rose to stop and smell, because I do exactly that. I am constantly looking at my life through the lens of things that can bring value to this blog by me writing about them, and that helps me to see more of those valuable things than I otherwise might have.

It&#039;s a very cool state of affairs! :)</description>

		<description>It&#039;s amazing at just how much a simple blog can change your perspective of everything around you, isn&#039;t it?

I find myself always looking for the blogable qualities in everything.  In a way, it&#039;s like a virtual rose you stop to smell :)

Great post Aaron!  I&#039;m glad you were so inspired by your house sitting experience.</description>

		<description>Patricia,

I&#039;m glad you enjoyed the post and please do follow your intuition to break out of your normal routine.

I have found &lt;b&gt;conclusively&lt;/b&gt; that following one&#039;s intuition is &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; the right thing to do! :)</description>

		<description>Thank you Aaron for this piece of advice, which
I welcome &amp; will give it a try. It somehow &quot;resonates&quot;... probably I&#039;m needing to get out of my well-known routine but I had not realized about it.
