Be Present

Charlotte Mason said, "Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking––the strain would be too great––but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest..."

I would like for my children (and me!) to be present in the moment. Notice the birds, the bugs, the flowers, trees. Look at the art that is on the wall. Really listen to the music.
