"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
I love this quote from Winston Churchill, it speaks a volume to me. So instead of boring you with the minute details of how my unschooling schedule didn't work out as intended on the first week of term three, I will tell you instead that there is a large scope for future potential.
Suffice to say, the schedule that I took two weeks to write up and stick on the fridge was torn up in frustration today and as of tomorrow there will be no more written schedules............they are banned! We will simply go with the flow and enjoy each second, minute, hour as the day progresses.
Ahhh, that feels better!

Don't you just love Winston Churchill and his great quotes! and from a man who suffered terrible depression for most of his life..........quite extraordinary.

Hmmm, out of hardship and trial often comes the greatest insight and compassion, I believe. I know it doesn't have to be that way but hardship & trials often open our eyes so we can see different perspectives.

Yep. I like scheduleless as well. I have a list of what to do in a week and we work through it. As to what gets done when? Ah, that's what makes life interesting, isn't it?
