Taken from the deck of our boat, motoring over to Toronto Island this past weekend. I took some of my guy friends on a bit of a sailing adventure.
I really love introducing people to the magic of sailing.
We were reflecting on how the SkyDome (pictured center frame above) used to *be* the skyline of Toronto but, in the past ten years, has all but disappeared behind the dozens of condos rising along the shores of downtown.
Toronto is changing.
Just like everything else.
Got me thinking about my life, wondering how it's changing. Of interest (at least to me) is that the wife and I are dealing with things changing in different ways depending on what's changing and what it's trying to change to.
Specifically, there are some changes in our life (kids getting older, jobs getting more entrenched, career changes looming, travel plans solidifying etc...) that can't be avoided. We're doing our best to embrace those and plan accordingly. There are other changes trying to force themselves into our life that we're actively resisting.
What changes do you need to embrace and help *make* happen, and what ones do you need to resist?
I think this is all related to our age and phase of life.
I realize this is an old story, but for us it's the first time we're dealing with it, so we're finding it a very interesting process and, in the midst of it, doing our best to find time to think.
