Today I begin yet another change. Mel and I changed our work schedules to make it more logical and beneficial for us. I am now staying at home during the day to take care of Claire while Mel works, then I work whatever evening shifts I am available for. This is beneficial for my kung fu as it still allows me to be present at the kids classes in the evenings and I can hopefully get some extra training done during the day.
This recent change in events made me think again about how dynamic life is. There are always changes, day by day, some changes impact us more than others. Nothing is the same from one day to the next. Opportunities you may have had one day are not there the next. However, new opportunities arrive in place of the old ones. Change is inevitable in our lives. There is nothing we can do about that. All we can do is make the best decisions we can at the time. Changes do not occur without our intervention, whether due to your actions or inaction. This is why the decisions we make must be mindful, otherwise you are less in control of the changes you experience.
This is yet another lesson I am continually trying to understand and master.
It's great that you guys are able to work in such a way that allows you both to train and raise Claire. Balance can be tough at times but you seem to be doing okay with it.
