Sometimes the chase is more exhilarating than the capture...sometimes the journey is more exciting than the destination..sometimes the climb is more energizing than the summit.

Am I the only one who loves doing all the research, reading, and investigating to plan for the next year's schooling more than I love doing the actual schooling itself?  It's that time of year for me, and I am just reveling in the process of scouring catalogs and websites as I try to figure out what we'll be using next year.

It's not that I don't love our daughter or homeschooling or homeschooling our daughter, because, of course, I do, or I wouldn't be putting so much time and effort into either one.  It's just that there is something so wonderful to me in chasing down the elusive curriculum, in journeying down the path of possibilities, and in scaling the heights of Mount Eureka.

Off to find my bow and arrow, my hiking stick, and my belaying rope.  Care to join me?
