Hello, all,

The clock is tick tocking and the stars are twinking.  It is a quiet evening.  The kids are snoring and hubby is out helping out at the church youth group.  I am alone with my thoughts and I suddenly thought that I haven't checked in for quite sometime. 

 I am definately an eclectic homeschooler. 

Have you ever looked up the definition of Eclecticism?  I hadn't until now.  It is the most encouraging thing... have a gander at it!

Eclecticism: The use of an eclectic method; the practice of choosing doctrines from various or diverse systems of thought in the formation of a body of acceptable doctrine....it selects from each its psychologically satisfying doctrines, and thus gains whatever consistency the eclectic system may have from the inner conformity of the eclectic's own temperment.

After reading that don't you think that we all are eclectic in our own way.  None of us are clones of another.  Each of us brings individuality to our circles of influence, our homeschools, and life. We choose from the practical, the inventive, the intellegent, and the beautiful and we add them to our own lives in our own individual way.  Well, I'd better run.  Just a pondering from me.
