“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

so, i really like this HR graph. you can clearly see when I start running up that hill. yup. legs are feeling it.
On Monday, I got back from a wonderful trip to Jamaica and Toronto with Haines and my friend Sandra. It was a fantastic time away, and so refreshing. Maybe more on that later... for now, a few pics. I came back, and it hit me. I'm officially done Mat leave. I no longer get government assistance/EI. I am back on the sign-in sheet at work. I have just over a month before my first shift again. Wow! I have a few things happening this week, with my in-laws in town, a party to throw, and advent starting. On Monday, I invited a few friends of mine to Vancouver to kick off advent & one of them, who I haven't been able to see for quite a while, was unable to attend. Something emotional triggered in me, and I suddenly worried that I had my first "Friend Fatality." You know, that thing that happens when someone who has never been a parent, becomes a parent? That shift in social relationships that acc...
Well, I must admit, this past year has gone quite quickly! As the saying goes: "the days might be long, but the time is short." I have definitely felt that! Despite the hard times in the last year, it has been really really amazing. I have accomplished a lot, and I have things to show for it. This is a list of things that I have done, which don't include raising a child. Sewed a play tent for Haines. Got our garage door fixed. Painted all the trim (that I can reach) on our house. Rebuilt our front and back porch stairs. Sanded and re-stained our back porch and wood pillars. Built a wood fire place backing and mantle. Sanded and Painted wooden blocks for Haines. Started renovating my mothers kitchen Sorted a helluva lot of boxes at my mum's and tossed out old crap. Did two triathlons. Organized a Gravel Fondo Wrote my will, personal directive & power of attorney Finished (with my in-laws) our back yard fence. Ca...
wish i could be... part of that world... so, i have a new look. it is sunshiney, and it has a bike. but, it lost all my web connections, which i am slightly annoyed with. argh! if you know that I read your blog, please make a comment, so I can reconnect with you! so, it has seemed, that recently, a theme in my life has been one of surrender, freedom, and trust . a friend of mine, that i have not seen in a long time, but holds a special place in my heart reminded me of surrender, and it was definitely not a long way off of a conversation that I had recently with a different friend of mine... and, i know that in times of transition, those qualities are perhaps the most important things to remember... "make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love." yeah. good advice. today w...
