Pluses and minuses

Sometimes when you add something new to life, you have to take something away. Sometimes you think you can add something new and still keep everything you had. But later you realize you have to take something away.

It shouldn't be that way. You should be able to add something, without losing the things you had. But when you do, you have to choose what to loose. You work hard to make sure that the things you loose understand. You work hard to keep them.

But if you have to loose something, you loose it. And then it doesn't matter any more.

I've not given up yet, I think I can keep the old and the new. I just hope the old realizes, someday, what I did and why I did it.

home again, home again, jiggity jig

When the kids were little, I would quote this line. As I pulled into the driveway after a long trip, I would say "home again, home again, jiggity jig." Eventually, I would just say "home again, home again" and they would finish "jiggity jig".

A few months ago, I did this again, "home again, home again" and my daughter finished "jiggity jig" without even thinking about it.

Internally, I smiled. I hope they continue this little ditty with their kids.

It's good to be home again.

Starting again

I took a sabbatical for a few months, now I'm trying to start again. I'm out of town (again), as usual a short trip. I'll be back in my own bed tomorrow. One more week, then I get vacation. I need it this time, sometimes it's just fun. But it seems like now I can't get away from work. Even on my days off, the phone rings and it's work. I do get time off on "work" days, so I guess it balances out.
