Restless Musing
John in the Morning is all melancholy this morning - I think it's the anniversary of his mom's death. Apparently she died of cancer a couple of years ago. He keeps encouraging us to call our parents. I'm so lucky that I am close to my mom and I've already called her twice this week. I've been thinking about my father recently and thinking about the very short note I plan on sending him with his Christmas card this year.
Work is making me restless. Life, really. Things are changing, our habits, our plans, our fallbacks, our norms. Eric has immersed himself in electronics, our home audio/video center, and I'm the same way - I need a somewhat consuming focus - but I've only really centered on work. It's not healthy and I'm glad I'm recognizing this aspect of myself and the current reality so I can make a conscious effort to find something to somewhat consume my interests. Running? So passé. Volunteering? Reading? Maybe. Finally practicing my accordion more often? Probably not... :)
