Narcissism or human nature? Do you also know people who are habitually late and make others wait, but don’t care? It’s the natural impulse to think of ourselves first, but I would disagree with Miss Crawford. It’s possible to learn to think of others first. Can you imagine being married to Mary Crawford? What would a relationship with her be like? Edmund is better off with Fanny. Our relationships are better when we think of others’ needs as well as our own. . . . . .

Has your summer flown by? It’s August already. Sometimes it feels like I haven’t done anything, yet I’ve been busy all the time. Summer is definitely one of those times. School is starting soon, with a whole new set of “busy nothings” to occupy our time. At least, some of the students feel like it is a succession of busy nothings. Parents have to convince the students that there is a point to the business. And that’s what I need to learn, too. There is a point to the small things that fill my day. I am getting something done. I’m raising children. I’m contributing to a functional society. I’m feeding my own soul. The small things matter, even if I can’t tick a large project off my To Do list. . . . . .
