I'd like to recommend to other readers a book that has helped me, "More Hours in my Day" by Emilie Barnes. I found a lot of encouragement in this book.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752312423558331385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061078511106416318.post-2840898142664401612009-05-18T13:10:00.000-04:002009-05-18T13:10:00.000-04:00Oh I love Charlotte Mason.

When I saw your post and then your picture, the very first thing I thought of was "Laying down the Rails", no joke!<br /><br />I am so much like you!!! That must be why I can't stay away from your blog!!!!<br /><br />I, too, have been working on habits and have TOO noticed how much easier it has been to get the dishes and laundry done. I am also at a point where I feel uneasy about letting them go, because I know it will reek havoc! I'd rather just spend the 10-15 minutes doing the task real quick, then having to spend double the amount of time doing it later because it piles up. And really, what's 15 minutes? Not much!<br />I love what you said here:<br />"But when a train gets derailed, the tracks are still there. It can take some extra effort and energy to get back on the tracks--but certainly not the same kind of energy it would take to build an entirely new set of rails!"<br /><br />My habit is to read the Bible daily and also read it to my kids daily, rather then sporadically. ((hugs))<br />P.S. I [finally] emailed you back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
