Well, sadly, I say goodbye to another schooling year. I can not believe how much has happened in the last year. Now it is time for summer and homeschooling "duties". No, I do not like paperwork. This time of year, I close up the schoolwork from the year and beginning planning ahead. Many people enjoy paperwork, I do not. Yes, I could have unschooled and not worry about it, but I can't seem to allow myself to do that. Besides, I need to fill my legal obligations. As such, I want to use this post to inspire myself with the memories over the last year and encourage you to do the same. This is to strengthen us all to continue in the journey we feel is best suited to our family's needs. LessonsThe most important lessons in life are not the ones completed on paper. They are ones that we have gained from experiences and self-reflection. They are the ones that help us along life's journey with minimal bumps and bruises to ourselves and others. So, what are the most important lessons we have learned this year?
AdventuresWe enjoyed many adventures this year. Many were far, but most were close to home. I received the best advice after moving to California. "Live like you are a tourist." What would tourists do? Where would they go? Enjoy where you are now! I share a short synopsis of our adventures of the year since last June in hopes that you will be inspired to have more adventures too!
I am planning in the coming weeks and I will have plenty of "How To" posts and Units. As I finish this post, I am watching my wonderful husband dance with my daughter to "You're My Best Friend" by Don Williams, the song he dedicated to me. It is a moment that takes my breath away. I will close with a quote that one of my closest friends has on her wall: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." - Hilary Cooper
