I enjoyed reading your thoughts on being more intentional. There is something in taking the things that are taken for granted and turning them into new reasons to find joy and peace. What a wonderful thing to see and witness – a portion of God’s awesome acts!

All too often I do feel as if we’re skimming the surface. Thank you for the reminder.
What an incredible memory you’re creating for your children.

I agree with your reflections about learning, Dana. When people talk about “holes” in science homeschooling, I say that no one could learn all there is to know about science, so it is far better to explore science you love and do so in depth than to “skim the surface” of it all. You will understand the process of science so much better.

What a wonderful annual trip!

What an excellent post. My heart and mind really resonate with this thought. To know more deeply is something that can be applied to so much of our journey.

I know a man who spends every single vacation taking the same cruise ship to the same destinations. He and his wife have been doing this every year for 15 years. I always thought he was a little boring, mundane and routine. But perhaps he is experiencing something more deeply than I ever have.

Definitely true, Mrs. Durff! My curriculum courses and professional development days talked about “spiral” curriculum that builds vertically year after year. Didn’t see it much in action in my district, unfortunately, but our district had a lot of challenges.
