Day One Hundred and Sixty-Seven:  Seven Wonders

I have way too much to talk about today.  First off, it’s father’s day.  I am so lucky to have such a supportive and caring man for  a father, thanks dad for everything you do I really do appreciate it.  I hope you enjoyed your ride today and the bike for the beach J

Next, how lucky I am to know every person that I do and how lucky I am to have so many caring people in my life.  People who have minds and hearts and feel rather than assume, and value minds over bodies.  Boy, am I the luckiest to be stuck with you all.

Also a few of my good friends are currently travelling, and reading their stories inspires me to continue to help people, and meet new people and take challenges and commit myself passionately to my work.  There hasn’t been a better time to truly commit to living out loud than this moment or last week or a month from now.

What else can I say?  I’m back in a good place, a solid, stable place where things are a lot brighter and much more motivated.  Something about having plans set in stone and knowing what you want to do really gets things going.  Also being surrounded by sound, driven passionate people with idea’s different and alike but are happy and outgoing and in love with their work.  How lucky am I to know so many talented and graciously loving people?  I miss London for that, everyone on our trip was so passionate and full of life.  I miss London for a lot more than that but the people specifically are kept close to my heart for their vibrance.

I’d say that I miss school but if only for the people and the knowledge again.  I am still learning everyday from new and challenging things at work and from the people around me but also in the books I’m reading and the activities that I throw myself into.  I’ve signed up for riding classes and have committed to rock climbing in the near future.  I want to do yoga on the rocks at the grand and on the beach at sunset and wear sweaters at night and drink wine on the back porch. 

Not this week though this week will be too back and forth for that, too much unorganisation within me to really wrap my head around the idea of this week.  I am so thankful to have Devra’s birthday on Friday to look forward to so I won’t end up going crazy with the busy-ness that is this week. This month.  This summer.  I want to keep busy and relax so badly that the contrast hurts sometimes.  Welcome to the curse of my insomnia at the moment.  But it could be worse.

That was a lot and I guess I just needed somewhere to put it all.  I have a few vogues to catch up on and some reading to finish.  Some yoga to do and some wine to drink.  Some dreams to completeand more to think up.  I wish I was elsewhere, actually, somewhere breath-taking.  I think I take Ontario for granted though and I wish I didn’t.  I’m in desperate need of a Toronto trip.  Any takers?

Won’t you keep me? I’m a keeper.
