I need some guidance!

I need some guidance, that is about what to post about. It seems hard for me to make long posts. When I think about something to post about I say it then I'm done, or I drag everything on and I ends up making no sense at all!! So should I merge them together? Or should I stick to just one of them?? I need some guidance!!!

Contributers

I am always looking for contributers. Feel free to leave a comment that says you would like to be a contributer. Thanks!!!!

Books

I love books!! I think I get it from my mom, anyway some books I wonder if they are worthwhile to read, others I know that they are really good to read and that I need to read them. As a homeschooler I have been able to read tons of books that a lot of adults haven't read some on my list are: Jane Eyre, Walden, The Work and the Glory and others. I have others on my list to read some of these are: Pride and Prejudice, The goose girl, The Secret Garden and others. I think that we need to read as many of the classical books as we can.

Questions of Today's Society

This morning I made breakfast, whole wheat blender pancakes. We were eating them and Caleb said, something about windows. I thought wow, why do "need" to have glass windows or can we stuff our windows with paper?

Here is a list of questions and MY answers.

1. How many things do we take for granted? Think of people in the 18th century, they had paper in their windows. Now I'm not saying we need to move into a little log cabin and have ice in our sheets every morning, but we can be thankful for what we do have.

2. Do we need to have computers/phones/laptops etc? We can live without a lot of thing TONS of people have.

Okay that's about it, but I have a million other questions going on in my head. I just can't explain them.
