I don't really want my children involved in more activities...they are fine on that account. I just want them to have more of a feeling of being connected in our own community. I was talking more about the casual things that come up in the day. <br/><br/>I love being at home, but I think God created us for fellowship with one another. Working satisfied some of that on a superficial level so I did not notice it as much way back when. And I do not want to replace that need with activity as a homeschooler, either. Does that make any sense?<br/><br/>It has been a long summer for me with a lot going on, so things sort of feel piled up. Thank you, ComfyDenim (and I LOVE your screen name).

It was so nice to have you stop by. After reading your posts - I'm a bit impressed that you stopped by my spot in the blogosphere. <br/><br/>I, too, want to be more intentional in getting the kids involved a bit more - but we still have to be careful. We have a LOT going on that it would be so easy to overwhelm ourselves.<br/><br/>I also want to be careful in the feeling of disconnectedness and watch out for how it enters into my thoughts - because, really, I'm happy at home. But sometimes home - is just too much. *LOL*<br/><br/>Bleach Free Blessings! ooooo Good Post!!

Thank you for your comment the other day. It was so nice to have you stop by. After reading your posts – I’m a bit impressed that you stopped by my spot in the blogosphere.

I, too, want to be more intentional in getting the kids involved a bit more – but we still have to be careful. We have a LOT going on that it would be so easy to overwhelm ourselves.

I also want to be careful in the feeling of disconnectedness and watch out for how it enters into my thoughts – because, really, I’m happy at home. But sometimes home – is just too much. *LOL*

Bleach Free Blessings!
