Moving brings mixed emotions – you have to shed old things to make way for now. Old routines, habits, even some things won’t quite fit in with the new, such as bookcases and tables. Does a gecko or snake feel this way? A bit uncomfortable, wondering how the new will feel?

Another random thought – boys are like the tides. They are really really into some things for a bit, then, like the tide, they drift away. But then something re-ignites interest and they are really into the next thing. Instead of mourning what seems to be a lost interest, I must await the next one, see what the tide brings in.
