by Karen Andreola that is inspirational to me. Just the pep talk I need : )Charlotte claimed that as much as one third of education is the discipline of habit. That's a pretty big chunk, isn't it? She emplored, "The mother who takes pains to endow her children with good habits secures for herself smooth and easy days; on the other hand she who lets habits take care of themselves has a weary life of endless friction." The latter will come about because, she says, if we "fail to ease life by laying down habits of right thinking and right doing, habits of wrong thinking and wrong doing fix themselves of their own accord." We begin with an awareness of any repeated action becoming either a bad habit or a good one. The actions a mother wishes repeated (the good ones) become her endowment.
I wish to give my children the gift of good habits so I will press forward teaching the good habits from our work system. To be continued...
