Perspective

As we prepare to go on a journey, an adventure, Keith and I aren't all that excited.  We both went into a molt today and procrastinated packing as long as we could.  We don't want to go without Ian.  We don't want to get excited.  We don't want to make memories that don't include him.  We don't want to return home and not have him here.

Tonight I said,  "There is a bright side."
"What?" said Keith.
"I'm not worried about the house.  There isn't anything in it that I care whether I lose or not."

 That's perspective for you.
