All nostalgic for the Lego years!

I have just come across a photo from 2007 of T and H sitting on the rug in our Toy Room (sitting room) in a sea of Lego and smiling. Time is flying right past me.

Forgetting

I found a great site all about meditation. As I read some of the articles I realised that it has been a while since I did any meditation or mindful anything at all. How could I forget something so important? Very easily!

Intense, important work

After 3 1/2 years of home education it is the right time for me to look back to the year leading up to the moment of deregistration. Every few days I read more pages from that year, surprisingly lucid notes, mainly written in an unusually readable hand.

One day a Big Issue seller asked me if I was alright. Kind, blessed stranger who could see things clearly.

While I am doing this all is quiet in the household. We are on a super long summer because GCSEs finished for T weeks ago and H is around all the time anyway. Tackling this task has been no hard task, I knew I wanted to do it some time. I knew there is no structured format for doing this with others, so I have the freedom to do it in my own time.

My learning style involves making notes and putting information in categories, preferably by month or year. I like to analyse freely, using my own headings. I need lots of time away from the analysing to let my mind settle.

I look forward to feeling lighter when I know why things turned out the way they did. I may find that the sequence of events was not as I have remembered it. This is the first time I have gone back in time to that year in a systematic way. I may find that my blame is placed differently. Maybe even replaced with understanding.

Sore eyes

I get so uncomfortable reading any blog with white text on a black background. T told me how to  reverse the colours:

Press ctrl/alt/the apple button next to it, then press 8. What a difference! Do the same to reverse the colours back again.
