What do ‘normal’ people do?
This question popped into my head today as I was standing in my kitchen, blitzing cooked, home-grown pumpkin to a puree.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately in interviews and podcasts about the benefits of making mistakes. Its really made me think about the importance of making them and is something I discuss frequently with dearest son as part of the homeschool process.

Growing up or growing old?
I don’t feel old enough for wisdom but I’m too old for youth. I’m not as young as I’d like Not as healthy as I was. But I’ve walked further, seen more sights, overcome more hurdles. I’m not the same as I was. I’m not the same as I will become.
