What are you looking forward to in this next year of your homeschooling adventure? Anything you're particularly excited about?
I'm excited about the latest in Sonlight's homeschool curriculum. I have new goals for this blog, and I'm looking forward to the fantastic stuff I get to show you in the coming months.
On the flip-side, do you have any goals for the obstacles that are coming your way? We like to think about all our great plans and resolutions to make the world and our lives better. And that's great. But what about taking some time to consider the less-than-pleasant stuff coming our way? For instance, I'm working from home right now because we had to get our main sewer line replaced the first working day of the year. Pricey. Inconvenient. And does not add new benefit. But needs doing. Do you have any of those you know of this year? If so, do you have any plans, goals, resolutions for when that stuff comes up?
It's exciting to stand on the threshold of a new year, especially when we can look back and see how we've been carried through the highs and lows of last year. No matter what happens, may 2012 be your best year homeschooling yet!

Kristina, looking forward to hearing more about that. Super exciting <smile>.
That's a good goal, Christy. May we all grow in Christ this year!
Sandra, true that <smile>. The job is done and everything looking great. Praise God for His provision and mercy through that whole experience! And may your new customizations prove effective and beneficial to your son.
Thanks for sharing!

At least you did not have to hand dig the trench!
Goals: To finish this year well.
Get excited about the next year and find ways to customize it for my son that is exciting and a bit stretching for him.
I want to be a better example of Christ to my children. Tough but doable...sort of.
I am excited to order and start my very first core later in the year with by to little ones. I can't wait.
