Hello, Pat ~ Rejoice Always!

INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:

I enjoyed reading your blog post about your successes and change of heart towards your husband.

Your writing kept me riveted and I read straight through to the end.



MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary day and month! I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting.

I felt like cheering for you the whole time I read this blog post of yours. Well done! Changes of heart, mindset, and good use of transformational language can make a huge difference in our own emotions as well as in our relationships. May the Lord continue to bless the efforts you are making. Your blog post reminded me of the verse that tells us (Paraphrasing, rather than stop the flow of writing to go look it up) to "bring every thought captive and make it obedient to the Lord." Our thoughts really matter. I hope you are still continuing to experience success in these areas and maybe even in some new ones too.

I tried to help someone this week with their choice of language, but not everyone is open to changing. This person is determined to hate something and decided it's impossible for them to change. Well, as Henry Ford is rumored to have said (paraphrasing again), "If you think you can, or if you think you can't, you're right." We have to believe change is possible and desirable. You've done it! Kudos to you!

I don't think I've reviewed your blog before, so I want to share that I love the title of it. I grew up in a small town and if someone was sitting on their porch, it was known that you could come up and visit with them. There were some elderly people in my neighborhood who I liked to stop by and chat with as a kid. It was nice to feel welcomed and to learn from them. So your blog title reminded me of those nice times.

I loved that your thumbnail picture for this writing site and for this blog of yours. Who doesn't love a good book? Definitely most writers do!

I loved the quote you shared by your lovely signature: "Worrying doesn't take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today's PEACE~" That's so true. Given your handle (I love it, by the way!), I'm guessing you're a fellow Christian. You've probably read the verse (yep, paraphrasing again) about how worry doesn't bring us any gain or add a single hour to our lives. Better to (different verse) cast our cares upon the Lord, for He cares for us. And (another verse) He is greater than any earthly problem we'll ever face. It can be hard to remember this sometimes so the more time we spend in the Bible, the more we will ingrain these truths into our hearts and minds. I'm praying for God to bless you, encourage you, and help you in all that you do.

I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your whole blog post.


IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER:
In the spirit of helpfulness, I have one little suggestion to make your piece stronger. If you're interested in some constructive criticism, read on. But if you aren't, no worries. Just know that I enjoyed your piece and move on to the next section.

Still reading? You're brave! Yay for you!

It's not about your writing. That was flawless. It's just to consider changing your "other" genre to something that is more likely to net you future readers, should that be something you desire. I don't think anyone searches for "other," but I have heard that people do search by genres such as "inspirational," "spiritual," "family," and "friendship." Perhaps one of those (or one of the many other choices we have here) would work for you. And, in case you didn't know, you are allowed to choose up to three genres. So you could pick two additional ones as well. If you wanted. No pressure. A review is a gift and it's entirely up to the recipient what to do with that gift.


CONCLUSION:
I enjoyed reading your blog post and sharing in the feeling of your successes as a wife and in your efforts of blessing your home.

Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, heart, spirit, and writing with the Writing.Com community!

Once again, happy anniversary month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!

May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance!
