Unschool Teacher Work Day

I have one scheduled today. I won't be doing lesson plans or grading tests. My kids have not had every last ounce of natural curiosity juiced out of them by formal education, so I don't have to lay out plans for what I am going to force on them. In fact, they hit every subject area required by SC on a daily basis on their own, and I can barely keep up with them.

I will be working on me. Clearing my mind, and inviting peace into my soul.

I can't be good for my family if I am allowing "things" to clutter my mind, divert my attention, and master my being.

Sometimes, my kids drive me insane, and I am ready for them to go somewhere else for awhile. Then, as soon as I find myself all to myself, I don't know what to do with  myself. 

I begin my day with this blog post, just to set things in perspective. I have opened all of the windows and I am aware of the light, cool breeze on my back. I am aware of the birds singing. I am only allowing positive thoughts.

I will be grateful for every chore that I do, and even take pleasure in them. I will be grateful that there is nothing more I desire than to exist peacefully in the moment.
