To help me write for this blog, I've been reading several books on productivity. The one I'm reading right now is "It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys: the seven-step path to becoming truly organized" by Marilyn Paul, Ph.D. I came across this wonderful quote:
"There is an old saying: Men make plans, God laughs! For all our planning, there is some other Force in charge, and much of the time, the best of life takes place when we haven't planned for it."
I find this to be so true, especially with children. You can spend a lot of money and plan a special activity and while it may be fun, it often doesn't live up to expectations. Yet, you can just be hanging around the house and doing the simplest thing like reading a story or making cookies and those moments are so sacred and special.
