Change

There is nothing like a change in routine to either remind you there is more out there, and also that sometimes we dont need too much change. For example, this weekend I managed to stumble onto story time and crafts at the Yorba Linda Public library which Zyan loved. Then we went to hang with some dear friends, and that turned out to be a wonderful change to our typical Saturday.

However Sunday night turned out to be a long event as Zyan felt unwell, throwing up multiple times, forcing my wife to stay up with him till 430am which meant an exhausted spouse who needed my support. I skipped gym and work this morning, instead, choosing to spend my morning with Zyan until he got tired.

Now in this current quiet, I appreciate some change has necessary, and others a reminder of why routines matter. It makes for an interesting time, inviting me to stretch, grow, support, do the things a parent that usually fall onto one partner because that’s truly the only way to keep it fair. Its a real reminder that change makes sense when you have your wits about you, but routine is what allows you the time and breath to be able to adapt.

Happy Monday!
