I get MaeMae and Elias up and ready for school each day. It is a good routine that I am happy to part of. Then, I drive to work, which has been busy lately. For leisure, I watch TV and a weekly football game.
For a short while, I was reading a book about Christian perspectives of Buddhism and Buddhist perceptions of Christianity, although it seems a bit academic for my taste.
I can almost see the day in which Philip will be off to college. Then, we'll have just Elias and MaeMae home--a second round of parenting. Parenting will define my life.
I have been jogging, now that I can't bike to work anymore. For awhile I was more disciplined, but now I'm only jogging (slowly) twice a week.
For some reason my life seems out of rhythm. I can't really describe it. I seem content to be introspective, lost in the technical details of my work. I wonder if this is who I am and I should accept these tendencies or, if I should force myself more into a people oriented role.
I seem to have lost some of the passion for social justice, which seemed, a few years ago, so important to me. While I still hold these values, I seem less incline to be an "activist".
