There are many ways to enjoy the little moments of each day. Baking a special treat, such as this apple pie, can be shared piece by piece all week in the evenings. Reading a longer bedtime story, bit by bit each night, is a fun way to connect not only to the reader and the laugher, but to a healthy tradition of togetherness and dependability. Getting back to private fun phone calls that only two friends can hear is bliss, unless there is someone listening in then you have to play a few jokes on the eavesdropper. “Gotcha!” Remember doing things you actually like to do, things just for you. This is life. This is living. These little moments feel natural and good. They’re real. And, then you’ll remember that you are real, too! Unplug, mill around the house, browse a bookshelf, sit in the fresh air, go for a stroll, and draw out something pleasant for you to breathe into.
If you won’t get your lovely eyes offline just yet, you can watch some new SHORTS on my video channel about favourite homeschool books and our April garden blooms and evergreens. These are some unplugged ideas of how to enjoy your days with self-education and nature-loving gardening. The nurseries are opening now. Go out and explore that lovely greenhouse air. Happy Spring!
