Life Stages

It is easy to let society and cultural dynamics impact the way we view our own life stages.  In some ways that is good: we share common experiences and have a common language to communicate with.  The problem is that these stages are so varied for different individuals that what may be a negative experience for one person may be positive for someone else.  Keep careful track of your own life experiences and let others compare and contrast their experiences with your own.

We are thinking about all of the families that have had their children at home with them.  It is such a mixed blessing: precious extra time to interact and make memories, but also all of the work of homeschooling while trying to get other things done!

This may have been the strangest mail week yet.  Luckily these boxes were not inspected on import, that may have raised a few eyebrows :).
