Life in community…
I was contemplating today about my love affair with the thought of a perfect little community. Where all things would balance out: family, friends, work, play, and privacy.
The reason for my contemplation, today I am isolated. One of my children is sick and needs an adult to stay with her. I really love that I get some extra time at home, but it means I lose money because I can’t work, I miss the interaction with others, and generally I really don’t like housework that much and so I have to spend time doing something I don’t like or trying to avoid it.
In my contemplation, however, I realised that my little community needs to start here, with my sick child, and that the dream of perfection has it’s flaws.
Good start Mandy! Hope no more sickness for the family!
