The waiting.

That’s always the hardest bit.

 

Well, that and the coming home at the end.  That can be pretty hard.

 

And the long haul flights with the kids.  They aren’t usually a peck of fun either.  And getting hire cars in France – that always seems particularly hard for some reason.  Good thing we aren’t going there this time I guess.  And finding foods that the kids will eat.  And figuring out how to pay tolls on unfamiliar road systems.  And deciding which one is yoghurt and which one is sour cream.  That’s caught us out before.

So I guess there are a few hard bits.  But the waiting is definitely hardest, I’m comfortable with that.

Tuesday Thursday Paradox

Coming Soon

The Tuesday Thursday Paradox is a collection of observations about life and how it works.  The main principle is simply that the more we understand about how life works, the better we can navigate its challenges and choices.

These started out as random thoughts on random post-it notes – but when I put them together they spontaneously turned into something that resembles the instructions for a boardgame.  Once that metaphor popped into my head, it seemed to fit, and so the collection runs with that idea as a central theme.

Over the next few months I’ll be publishing it here as a series of standalone articles that just happen to merge together into a ‘book’ if you happen to put them in that order and read them all at once.  I’m still not sure if that is how I think they are best consumed, but it is the normal way and so I guess it is worth the shot.

Ultimately, I just hope that everyone who reads it finds something of interest in there.
