Even if you are fluent in a language every now and then you come across a word that you would not usually think of that perfectly describes an action, thought, emotion or situation. Several weeks ago I was talking about our trans-Atlantic move with some new friends. The word in the response that caught my attention was "recalibrate." Wow! There are many great adjectives to describe the process of repatriation but I immediately latched onto this new descriptor.
To recalibrate means to made adjustments to restore accuracy. We are an operating family that requires some "fine-tuning" to optimize our functionality. When recalibrating an instrument it may take a while involving many small adjustments perhaps finding that perfect balance between over-compensation and under-compensation. I can only speak for myself but the word "recalibration" is a perfect way of describing our current adventure.
