Busy day = subpar content (also known as “Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel”). I feel an obligation to give my faithful readers something interesting to read, but we might have to fudge a little on the definition of the word “interesting.”
First of all, let me share something beautiful:
That should count for something.
I am reminded of a book about homeschooling that I read which said that whatever curriculum you used, you should be sure that each day your children have:
Something or someone to love
Something worthwhile to do
Something to think about
Here’s what I wrote in the book at the end of that chapter as I mused about it way back when I first read it:
“Three simple things…yet not so simple with 6 children. I believe my children are given something to think about each day, but I’m not so sure about worthwhile things to do. What about something to love? I’d like to think that we all are providing for each other someone to love, but maybe this needs to be more purposeful than just our general co-existence as a family. I need to ponder that for awhile. Nobody seems to love the cat – I perhaps haven’t modeled that well.”
Ha ha – well, if you knew our cat, November, you’d know why I said that.
Don’t we all need those three simple things every day? For me, now more than ever.
Let’s not delete this in the morning. It’s important!
P.S. Bonus points for any of my homeschooling friends who can tell me what book that was. 🙂 I’ll give a hint: the subtitle is “Personal Reflections on the Gentle Art of Learning.”
