Easter's over and it seems that everyone is back at work, including some of the handy-people who do the odd jobs around the place.
Some days seem to go by at a steady pace, but not around here. Today was a prime example. As it so happened, we had a visit from the electrician who came by to replace yet another safety light outside the building (part of the long-term process of being vigilant about protecting the property from unwanted *ehem* guests.
We also had a visit from one of our techie wizards who was checking in on the state of our photocopier-scanner, and his friends who were here to solve some issues with our wireless internet access.
Outside on the porch (ok the roof over the porch) there were two roofers who had finally arrived to strip the damaged shingles from that roof and to replace them with a more up to date set.
All these extra people around the place were sure signs of life. Some were signs of life and harbingers of spring, and others were just part of the regular hubub of the place. When I consider the fact that these visits also disrupt the normal flow of events, the truth is that I'd rather have the place hopping with visitors and others than sitting still. It's a sure sign of life and it's really good to see.

I get that spring feeling everytime I leave the house in the morining at 5:30am for a workout and return at 6:45am when the kids and my wife are starting to wake up. Enjoying the stillness at home before leaving and the energy when I return is an amazing experience. Thanks again for the reminder.
