Thursday Sabbatical

We didn't do anything very exciting today. A friend came to visit for the last time (she's moving next week), we were caretakers of another girl while her mom went to a funeral with my oldest two (they played guitar in the program), we shelled peas, ate curried dhal and rice for lunch, and just enjoyed Being. Thursday is usually our day for Latin as a summary class, Poster Art, Nature Studies, Logic, and other such classes, but we scrapped the plan just to "Be" with our friend and each other. After all, isn't friendship and service to others what life is all about? And doesn't Being deserved to be capitalized? We think so, too...
