  "It is difficult to find a name which covers what we are and what we may become, but let us call it philosophy; for to know ourselves is wisdom. We all like to get what we call knowledge of ourselves from phrenologists, readers of handwriting, and the like, and from the polite sayings of our acquaintances. But this is the knowledge that puffeth up, because it is usually flattering and, therefore, false. We may deserve praise for the thing we are praised for; but flattery fills us with the notion that we are made up of this or the other charming quality, and that those of our friends who see another side are unkind and unjust." ~ Charlotte Mason, Vol. IV

Keeping is like a tea party with oneself, don't you think?

    "Thus, I propose that the middle of February remind CM admirers
    ​everywhere to prepare to celebrate "the science of relations" with

    ​One Hundred Days of Keeping -- notebooks that is."

    One Hundred Days
    Then swing your window open,
    the one with the fresh air
    and good eastern light,

    and watch for wings, edges,
    new beginnings.
