There is nothing better than building a sand castle with your 2 year old to make you forcefully appreciate the transience and imperfection of things. You want to make it a certain way, but he has other ideas. So you let it go. You compromise and you build it his way, but then he destroys it and has a great time doing it. So you learn to laugh it off too. There is so much I can learn from my son, but as always, I remain a slow and reluctant learner.
My Columnist Days are Over!
To be given a platform to share my thoughts was a blessing. The actual writing process was far from it. Here is my last column for the Observant!
Many thanks to those that bothered to read my columns, especially to those that took the time to talk to me about them after reading. A very special thanks to Marieke for being my muse and Wendy for being a wonderful editor at The Observant. I’m signing off!
