Sigh.

What do you do?

You have a night full of interrupted sleep; morning finds you fatigued. The important people you try to contact suddenly seem to have dropped off the grid. When you go out, you miss every bus on your route. What do you do?

Pray and believe for something better.

Those Little Moments...

Odd that I'd experience nostalgia at something like this, but it's been so long that I'd almost forgotten how wonderful short bus rides can be with the right company.

I took the bus back with my Eldest, and discussed briefly religion, politics and her future education; one of those father-daughter things. I truly was proud and happy to see her earne her leadership position, but now I truly get the sense that my young Padawan has grown up.

It really moved something in me when she said she'd look for me the next time she had a question. Earlier in the evening, my younger Padawan (finally almost an SP) had announced loudly to some of the newer members than I was his mentor.

I thought my days of mentoring them were over when everyone in my little unit was reassigned, but it looks like God may have other ideas after all.

I feel an odd blend of age, satisfaction and excitement I cannot quite explain.
