I laughed that Jemimah called you on it. Max does as well. When I "hinted" that a certain date might be good in his Book of Centuries he replied that if it had made an impact on me I should write it in my own. Those frisky PR Articles should oftentimes be read with a grain of salt.

But it seems like a good balance for our family, and I am trying to at least keep different modes of keeping in mind so as to introduce them at appropriate times or seasons.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-48005105510725577362015-02-18T05:02:19.103+11:002015-02-18T05:02:19.103+11:00Thank you for the reminder that these are things t...Thank you for the reminder that these are things that need not be done all at once & it should be a joy to learn!hhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485714275060247052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-41833787741394168042015-02-18T04:27:47.590+11:002015-02-18T04:27:47.590+11:00From my long ago days I recall people treating art...From my long ago days I recall people treating artist study like this--its Thursday so we must look at that picture.....

It is so easy to live according to an extensive weekly list - but by default we then tend to neglect that 'soaking in' that is a much better metronome for daily life.

I think it can be easy to read a book like THe Living Page and get all excited about the idea of Keeping, but then in our excitement to lose sight of the big picture and go WAY overboard and let it turn into busywork, as you say, rather than a joy and delight.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576009644971020668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-14649757984488447342015-02-17T22:48:31.783+11:002015-02-17T22:48:31.783+11:00Great post.
