RE: More Snow in Space and Mind

I really love that you live away from home but still love home and your family and friends there. I know it can be hard sometimes - I've lived on the other side of the world from my family too. But you're still blessed with strong relationships and connection to Germany which is nice, you know? Not sure if I can explain why. It's better than a total severing.
Sorry I haven't got into the MA content to engage with - I'm just flat out with things here so I haven't had time or headspace to engage with the philosophical, not that I haven't wanted to. It's summer here - the antithesis to musing in the snow.

It's great to have those people here, and I'm sure that I could reconnect with them very quickly - if I lived here. It does make more sense to focus on the friendships that I have in Ecuador, and it's hard to maintain long distance friendships. Even with my family I sometimes feel that I should call more often, but I just can't make it a habit, no idea why.
No worries about the philosophy, you have a garden to set up and a house to finish! That's more than enough musing on the other side of the spectrum. We move slowly on MA, so there will be plenty of time when winter knocks on your door, too 😅
I think you have to set an alarm to call them more regularly - I'm sure it'd bring them joy. You know when LIly grows up, you'll miss the heck out of her too, and wish she'd call you more often...
Yes, I know. The hard part is to integrate it into my life. When I wake up, they're asleep. When I go to bed, they're in the middle of their day. And when they wake up, I'm in the middle of my day. That constellation of time makes it hard to remember at the right time, if there's a right time :-D
Ha, yes I suppose - but we do have dual clock widgets on our phones. No excuses these days! Time differences suck though, and when we have daylight savings here, the time changes again! And then you're in different vibe zones when you're pm and they're am or vice verse. Gah, you should see my useless ex and my 28 year old son try to co ordinate calls. It's weeks of back and fro whatsapp and missed connections - they're hopeless.
The dual clock thing is a nice idea. I would only use it for them, so every time I look at my phone I'd be reminded of calling them. And I do look at my phone just a little too often :-D
Yeah that's the ide! PeakD has an app? I didn't know that... I'll have to download it!
