Seen in the woods this morning.
I've missed blogging. I really enjoyed and needed a vacation from it, and though I miss it and I'm full of photos and ideas about posts, I'm not quite sure how to get back into the rhythm of it.
Blogging takes time and focus. I don't like to do it for the sake of filling space, but rather with a heart for sharing about our family and hoping it might in some way inspire another home educating mama, as I have been so inspired and encouraged by others.
I think we've settled into a good flow of home education and household care, and though it's going well, I'm realizing anew how very much it takes to remain engaged--moment after moment, day after day--with this life. Kind of feels silly to even say that, because everyone has a full plate in one way or another, but this life has become much more stretching that I thought it could be.
Though I'm stretched, there's fresh light and life in this season, and I'm standing in it. I might even occupy this space again. ~smile~
Gorgeous!

Beautiful picture! Blogging has its pros and cons, doesn't it?

"Stretched". . .I like that word. It has a much more positive ring to it than "stressed".
Glad to see you back.
