Freethinking Homeschool: So Blessed

So Blessed

I am so blessed. So incredibly, wildly, awe-inspiringly blessed. And I have to put my thoughts down.

My daughter is quite possibly the most compassionate soul on the planet, with the possible exception of the Dalai Lama. Her love, patience, and understanding surpass her years immeasurably; and when I say she inspires me to be a better person, I absolutely mean it with every fiber of my being. Her smile is like sunshine, and she brightens my world.

Sure, she has her moments. I was going to say "bad days", but I've actually never known her to have a bad day. Only moments. I hope I don't end up paying tenfold for this when she is a teenager, but for now she is just the sweetest.

I am blessed. I am so thankful. My children bring such joy to my life, and I just wanted to say so. Because right now they are tucked into bed for the night, fast asleep, and I can't say it to them until morning.

Disclaimer

My views on traditional schooling aren't rosy, and I express my opinions on the topic regularly. That said, I don't berate parents who choose that path by choice or out of necessity. My opinions may be strong, but I will still do my best to respect yours. I believe parents should be supportive of one another, not competitive. Competition is not a goal of my blog; these are merely my opinions and experiences. The traditional public education system is broken, not the teachers, the parents, or the children.
