Travelling

Okay, so I am sitting here pondering "things", just generally and then I started thinking about "MY" life and who/what I am. Me..... Born in Sault Ste. Marie and I think from the time I was born I couldn't wait to move away from that place; for me growing up there was not wonderful (for some I guess it is and was). I moved to Toronto as a teenager and that is where life began for me.... Spent about 28 years in the greater Toronto area and although I had fun, I was still very very conservative (catholic upbringing) and I liked "playing it safe" when I ought to have taken a chance or two; oh well it was still fun.... Met and married a wonderful guy...., due to us both being a bit screwy and unable to cope with some aspects of life I am now "divorced" and you know I have met people over the years that wear the "divorce" like a badge of honour or something!!!!

I am moving YIKES!!! I get possession of my condo tomorrow and will spend the next two weeks getting moved and settled. Then off to Europe!!!!

Okay, I am done with this very brief update; so...... Watch for more Ciao

This is a happy/sad month. It is a reminder of the loss of a very sweet dear friend; and I think of him and his family often. I can't say I was super close with Andrew and his wife, i do know what a wonderful man he was and while he was on this planet he lived and loved. His wife Lynn is a trooper and surviving, she has found strength from many different places in her life and most of all she has two wonderful boys that I am sure keep her focused on moving forward. I keep them in my thoughts and it seems as though they are moving along which is good. Andrew is gone, not forgotten and every time I see his boys I remember clearly who he was. I am also counting down to my Europe trip YAY - that will be so much fun and it is so exciting!!!! I am so excited!!!! well my thoughts are all over the plac...
