The Absent Uncle: Readjustment

Vacation over! Back at home. The readjustment started when for me when you wake up on departing day and put on shoes and socks for the first time in a long time. Your feet start asking you why are you doing this, we have been quite fine wearing sandals. Trying to pack everything into bags that have shrunk in size since arrival, or is it there are more things to fit in the space that was already filled?

Then arrival at the airport. The jostling of luggage, checking in, standing in line, and actually having to do something when told in order to complete the process.

But the biggest thing was the noise. The sound of a few hundred conversations in a cavernous room that seemed to echo those hundreds of voices into thousands of voices. That was the moment I knew it was really happening. Readjusting.

Of course, I am aware that all things eventually come to an end – no matter how many days you are on that vacation holiday. It is just a matter of time passing; you can’t slow it down or stop that time. I am getting better at not thinking about how many days left and simply enjoying the time that we chose to spend at a location we have enjoyed going to for many years.

So, readjustment is just a lot like life throws at you every day. And the readjustment is made easier by appreciating what you are/have experienced and being grateful that you have been blessed with a good life. Keep moving forward.
