Another School Year

It is January and our school year is half over.  Abbie is a junior and Daniel is in 7th grade. Melissa is a college junior and Katie has graduated college and has a "big girl" job. If I had a dime for every time I have thought, "Where has time gone," I would be on the way to getting rich. Yet I wonder again, where has the time gone? I'm in my 19th year of homeschooling and have 5 to go.

What I have learned over the past 19 years is to be flexible (I have learned many more things - but this is important.)  I'm not so good at being flexible all the time.  I'd prefer to just roll with the punches but I end up stuck in rigidity - UGH! Oh, I am not talking about the ability to touch my toes flexibility either.

I'm looking forward to next year when Abbie takes some college classes, I take college classes, and Daniel is in the 8th grade but I also need/want to savor this year and focus on the here and now. In a few short years I will be done teaching my children and don't want to look back on those 24 years with regret.

So, this year I will work on savoring the here and now.

Happy New Year!
