Usually when I’m alone, that’s three days per week without my kids, I do have to adjust mentally. Takes a lot of energy away, because and even with all this challenges with them, I miss them when they are not around.

I know this adjustment will be a lot greater when they leave home for good. I do not think I’ll go broke then, because I have high hopes this will prove they doing really well and can adjust in their life’s to cope with all of that, what coming towards them - it could be awful and a lot, because our home world is in troubles. If we believe it or not.

What I trying to do to compensate is, leaving my car as good as possible untouched (burns Diesel), try to not heat to much - it getting really cold now, rethink purchases (still buying to much stuff, food, eg.), turning the lights off if not needed (there is still to much IT stuff running).

But with all this said - I do believe we still can find “symbiotic ways” (no body implants for me so ;-) ) to combine technology and preserving all earth inhabitants = life on this planet - without to sacrifice everything we got used to.

May I’m to naive or it’s still to much denial in this words, but I won’t give up these thoughts.
