Summary: <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/ch-season5">Season 5: Why Convivial?</a><br> What sort of elderly person will I be? Of course a large part of the situation will depend on circumstances and what my particular physical or mental ailments will end up being. But what of the different temperaments? Will I be a sweet old lady, grateful and encouraging up to her dying day? Or will I be a fault-finding, cranky old lady?<br> When whatever my infirmities will be come upon me — no matter the age at which it happens — what will it do to me? Can hard circumstances turn you into someone you were not? Or do they reveal who you actually were by removing your defenses?<br> Affliction will come, sooner or later, and what will it show? If how I respond then will be simply a magnification of how I respond now to minor irritations and inconveniences, then I doubt I’ll be a sweet old lady.<br> What story do I want told at my funeral?<br> Whatever it is, now is the time to start living it.<br> Read the original post:<br> <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/2012/convivial-home-now-later">Convivial Home: Now & Later</a><br> <br> Recommended Reading:<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Loving-Little-Years-Motherhood-Trenches/dp/1591280818/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1492112286&sr=8-1&keywords=loving+the+little+years&linkCode=li3&tag=simorganize-20&linkId=925012f50faa0ffa949d3a392886a17a" target="_blank"></a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Womans-Guide-Raising-Large-Family/dp/1423604512/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1492112306&sr=8-1&keywords=sane+woman's+guide+to+raising+a+large+family&linkCode=li3&tag=simorganize-20&linkId=69b72f622085cce446e5614f76da4cf2" target="_blank"></a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lifegiving-Home-Creating-Belonging-Becoming/dp/1496403371/ref=as_li_ss_il?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1496403371&pd_rd_r=H1FPXBQX41H6MEQRD27N&pd_rd_w=I9gpB&pd_rd_wg=odjx9&psc=1&refRID=H1FPXBQX41H6MEQRD27N&linkCode=li3&tag=simorganize-20&linkId=8988ca79ac17c0d727e644a7f4403418" target="_blank"></a><br> <br> Simple Sanity Saver: Homeschool Checklists for Kids<br> So, you’ve decided to create a homeschool checklist for your kids. Now what? <br> There are lots of ways to make a checklist and keep a checklist.<br> Using a spiral notebook for a daily list is a popular option.<br> Creating a weekly template you can print also works well.<br> Or, you might even use an app like Asana or Trello or use your weekly template digitally on Google Drive or in Evernote.<br> The important thing to do is to find the workflow that smoothes the way the most. Your checklist system should appeal to you and to your kids, so it’s not a headache to check. It should include all the items your kids are responsible to complete – for example, ours includes their morning chores. And it should be clear to everyone how to use it.<br> Spread the word!<br> <br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-convivial-audio-blog/id1150854418">Leaving a review on iTunes</a> will help other homeschooling moms discover this podcast!<br>
