7. Fear

It is the time of year where I start planning the next school year. This year for the first time I am planning two different grades. This is only part of their work I still need to pick up some workbooks for James and I am waiting on a couple of Damian's books to arrive in the mail. This is when the fear and worry starts to kick in. Am I doing it right. Oh how I wish to be an unschooler, but even though I am laid back I get freaked out if the boys seem behind in basic studies.

 

The note card I made for Damian says:

 

Be Happy

Bring Happy

Make a choice to do better

 

I hope that your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.

Poetry Thursday

Today's poem is one of my favorites by E.E. Cummings. I carry your heart with me read by Mark Coleman. There are no words to describe why this poem resonates so strongly within me. My only hope is that you enjoy it.

 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

 

 

I hope that your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friend.

5. Under

This is the fan above my bed. I often lay in bed and stare at it in deep thought.

This is my night stand. I have books that I want to read for fun, books that I am hoping to help me do better homeschooling, books on religion. These books are not always the same but most of the time they reflect the weight I am under during the day. I am in the middle of The Great Gatsby (I think I will refrain from judgment until I finish it), I got slightly bored by The Search By Nora Roberts, it felt like I was reading an older book from her with different characters (boring. Sorry Nora but you can do better), There is the pray of the day (which I read when I feel like I need a little something that is missing), the second pile is all home school related. In case you are wondering about the picture it is one of my favorites. It always makes me smile.

I hope your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.

4. Lucky

I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me

 

I heard this song today on Pandora and I knew what my post would be. This guy, my heart, my love, my husband. I am lucky to call him mine.

Here are the lyrics to the song above.

 

Your eyes so blue
Your kisses too
I never knew what they could do
I can't believe you're in love with me

You're telling everyone I know
I'm on your mind each place you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me
I have always placed you far above me
I just can't image that you love me
And after all is said and done
To think that I'm the lucky one
I can't believe you're in love with me

 

I hope that your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.

Le Mer

Every time Pandora plays this song I drift away on a cloud of dreams. I just wanted to share it with you today. La Mer by Chantal Chamberland.

Maybe I just love french jazz.

La mer

English Lyrics:

The sea

The sea,
We see dancing along the shores of clear bays,
Shimmers with silver
The sea
Changing shimmers
Under the rain

The sea
With the summer sky
Mix up her white horses
With the angels so pure
The infinite azure shepherdess
Sea

Sea
By the ponds
Those big wet reeds
See
Those white birds
And those rusty houses

The sea
Has cradled them
Along the shores of clear bays
And with a love song
The sea
Has rocked my heart for life

 

Maybe it is just a beautiful song.

 

I hope your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.
