I ran across a little something from Leo Babauta that rings so true.  I've thought this way for years (at least on and off).  Over the past several years it has really resonated with me.  Ask my kids how many times I remind them that getting back to nature is key, learning to research "old school" style is a FABULOUS skill that will likely be sought after in the not-so-far future, and quiet time with a good book is essential.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this
