Postless

I knew it would happen someday. Yesterday was the day. A postless day. A blank spot on the August blog calendar. It slipped by me, and now I am released. The precedent has been set: my blog can survive a day without words or images. This post is the proof that I can come back from nothingness. I believe that I made it to two days shy of three months posting without skipping a day of something appearing (whether manually or automatically). Who cares?

It's actually good timing that it happened now, because we are about to start on our homeschool year, and I will have vastly and dramatically less time that I have had this summer. Perhaps none. So there may be many blank spots on the calendar.

I've been an all-or-nothing kind of gal most of my life (ask David), but I'm trying to develop some gray areas where it's ok to do things some of the time and not demand perfection from myself (with giving up as the alternative). Like flossing my teeth. Exercise. Prayer. Reading my Bible. And now blogging joins the ranks. It needs to be way down there on the totem pole.

Yesterday I did not post. But I cleared the dining room out of last year's school materials and replaced them with the new stuff. The kids persuaded me to let them start some of their schoolwork for the coming year, so we did some of that. We met Emily's new piano teacher who lives across the street. I poached wild salmon and combined it with fresh asparagus parmesan risotto made from scratch. I supervised Jason baking coconut walnut brownies on his own. It was a good day.

We are all stunned into shocked silence.

A change is as good as a rest....I used to hear that from my parents when I was a child. I just don't know from whence came your perfectionist tendencies, Katherine;)
No one would guess, unless they ever had a chance to see your mother fold towels!
I love you! Happy Day! And I fixed mushrooms, asparagus, and onions sauteed in olive oil, added my own pesto and stewed tomatoes, then, large shrimp cooked to, ah, perfection, and served it over angel hair pasta! Yummy!
