Life is about moving on; from one experience to another, one event to the next, one phase to the next. But the funny thing is death is also about moving on; to hell or heaven or nothing. And it doesn't matter whether you believe in a God cos the thought of this future (heaven or hell or nothing) still governs the thoughts and actions of the present.
People move in and out of our lives for various reasons; moving into (out) a neighbourhood, marriages or births, new work place, common interest (differences), needs, etc, etc...
Moving on... they are many reasons for it. The four kids I took under my wings are moving on too. My own will still be hanging around a while more; which means I'll probably be going down that 'marginal' path more than I'd like to. So might another despite anxiety from the adults. One feels the need to get away, go for something 'easier' and to embrace the call of freedom while another literally got packed and sent away to somewhere 'safer' (from what I gather).
Ties are formed and ties are broken. Nothing is permanent. Blood is thicker than water... you wonder whether it's true. It's an imperfect world. We're imperfect people.
And now moving on from holiday mode to the work one... *sigh*

if u work on sundays, which day is church service? i was in perlis for my teaching practicum but kind of forgotten the system.
Churches here hold services either on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays... just find one that fits. 8) You did your practicum in Perlis??? Yah hor... USM.
cavebaby's violin teacher is feeling rather lonely at the moment as all 3 of her kids have flown the coop - her youngest started university not long ago. I keep wondering how it will be for me ... only 6 or 7 more years if cavebaby wants to go to university. Maybe Capt Caveman and I will move abroad and spend her inheritance...!!!
PP: Kids are only with us for limited time... a trust from God. The time will come for them to leave, just as we did, our parents.
Keep telling myself that kids are loaned to us temporarily to nurture and guide them to be contributing persons and hopefully will find God as his anchor.
