Alone....?

I decided to give this topic it's own post. The more relaxed and content I feel in my new lifestyle the more I notice the lack of company I have on my journey. Don't get me wrong I'm not looking for validation or acceptance from the general population. But it would be nice if I could find someone in my imediate circle who shared my beliefs! I think the hardest and sometimes harshest critcism can come from family. I'm sure they feel their concerns about my children not having a "normal life" or that my children "work too hard" on the farm, are very valid to them. I however can't say I share that belief. Thats what makes life wonderful I know, the fact that we al have are different beliefs but really? When did it become okay to let kids sit in front of a TV or video games all day instead of going outside? When did it become the norm to eat out sometimes 3 times in one day? And WHY am I so strange when I buck the so called "norms" and choose to live a life with meaning!? Does anyone else deal with this? Anyone else feel that sometimes your one against a million?
