Sharing Day

Thank you all for your comments after Wednesday's post. Thank you, too, to those of you who became official "followers." All of it did my heart good.  Mostly, you told me that you like what I'm doing, so I guess I'll try to keep on doing it! Maybe with a few more pictures (thanks, Amy!) And if you want to "follow," there is an option for that down a bit on the right side-bar.

Sharing Day today--I ran across some pretty nifty articles this week, and thought I’d pass them along to you:

My friend shared a link to this article from The Atlantic, Caring for Your Introvert, by Jonathan Rauch on her blog this week, and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading it again. I sort of wish I could hand a copy of it to everyone I meet/have ever known, along with an interpretation of my Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test results.

This article about giving books—real, physical ones, really struck a chord with me. I’m still not sure how I feel about electronic books. Having any book at your fingertips, being able to carry a whole library around with ease—those things seems appealing. But this children’s book seller over at Shelf Talker appeals to "The Romance of a Real Book," and she makes a lovely case.

For you Suzuki people out there, I’ve been enjoying Suzuki News, recently. The Suzuki Association of America is posting reprints of their best articles from past Minijournals for parents’ benefit, along with current news, announcements and other good information. Just this week there have been tips on practicing, note reading, and taking notes in your child’s lessons. Go take a peek!
