Happy 2016! I love where I stand in this new year full of possibilities. 2015 was amazing to me - it shook me up and enabled me to start again...and there's nothing I love more than a new start!
My stint in Victoria was amazing. I ended up in a house full of people that became my very good friends. And that meant so much to me - I felt like I'd found my tribe, all on my own. My job was hectic and fun. I spent an inordinate amount of time on beaches and moutain tops and lakes with a fun-loving partner. I felt like a kid playing in the sunshine, free and happy. The basic joys of life came back to me - sunsets, sunrises, early mornings, twilights, the smells of sun-baked grass and sweet blackberry mixed with the sea. Physical exertion, interesting people, dancing under the moon by a fire!
Now in Williams Lake, I feel the perfection of where I'm standing now. I appreciate my exposure to a new place and new people and the whole world of a new job. I appreciate living with a fub, with Martha and the 'rents near by. This morning I stood out on the deck in the freezing cold and saw the beautiful glowing pale blue-green sky of the dawn over the dark, snow-laden branches of the firs and relished it. I'm happy to live here long enough to appreciate the beauty that's here.
It hasn't all been easy but it's been so worthwhile, and I'll be heartbroken to leave.
toodles!
