Excellent, excellent.....a balm to my thoughts! This lady raises some refreshing thoughts to the pressure we place on ourselves to create 'special' family memories.
Excellent, excellent.....a balm to my thoughts! This lady raises some refreshing thoughts to the pressure we place on ourselves to create 'special' family memories.
I might think about what I like doing and how this influences our family 'memories'.
P.S. I like eating, sitting, reading, laughing,watching: people, movies, views...
walking in the breeze or cold (but not too cold mind you...).
I like worshipping with a quiet mind.
I love looking at our family's photo's and love slide nights. I love hearing about life for my parents and previous generations.
I like reading home magazines, but only where the furniture/house has character and elements that have been recycled. No modern extreme minimalism for me.
I love moving furniture around and a good clean out- yes, even as a hobby......
I love travelling, the planning that is needed for a trip and then the actual trip......I look forward to staying in nice places that give you a window into some other life and of course good food.
Now where does the family fit into all of this?

When I read your words and see your photos it helps me know my blogging friend so much more...love it!
I like your post about this and thank yo for the link. Having been a Marriage and Family Therapist for many years, I applaud her post which so proves that the least little bit of common sense stands out with brilliance in today's crazed culture. As I told her in a comment, if you listen to your internal needs and live and mother from the strength of grace, you will have given your children a most valuable education. Fun happens anyway...sometimes when we haven't even anticipated it.
Thankyou, those are wise words.
