I’d like to add 4. The inertia and feel good sense of being in the flow when programming. The mind gets into a single track and wants to continue.
Fun but also exhausting.
So I stopped all that. I started learning Argentine Tango instead - lifelong project and an invitation to limitless mastery of multiple aspects of self and relationships.
F number 3. I feel we all give more than enough in our jobs.
Once our kids were old enough to go to bed and stay there we started dancing by ourselves in the sitting room. Salsa rather than tango. Don't do it so much these days because the kids are now teens and once again NEVER GO TO BED, but it was fun while it lasted
A family of tango dancers, husband and wife, returned to the tango practica at a local tango school. It’s a garden practica and they bring the baby. Beyond adorable.
But yes, when I look at the people at a milonga, one of my thoughts is - you people clearly don’t have kids do you.
Hope you can bring some of its magic back to your life, even if it’s in small doses.
