For Today… September 7, 2015 Outside my window…. the fog has burned off and the sun is in the sky. I am thinking… about the 4 Ws of Wonder-Work-Wisdom-Worship. Particularly wonder right now. I am thankful… for holidays when my husband is home for the day. I am wearing… My new Buckeye shirt. It’s gameday!…
September?! Say it isn’t so! We had a good week. Most of the time. That’s the joy of writing a weekly review like this. The moments can be frustrating. Seriously frustrating. Our plans and idyllic imaginings can get derailed as we deal with the issues and frustrations of living and learning with the same people…
It has been several months since I posted about *revel*, my 2015 word of the year. That doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it. In April, I thought about writing Revel in Rest after the convention.

We have been reading such good things in school, working our way through Kidnapped and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in particular. I posted pictures of my commonplace book last week with quotes from both; one I liked the ideas within and the other two quotes the poetics of. I mean, the assonance and near rhyme…
