Vacation

 This last week was a reset.  Visiting with family and friends that I haven’t seen in a long time was just what I needed.  Our friends live in an off grid cabin near Kamloops which was interesting to visit and experience.  We brought out kayaks and bikes and enjoyed the outdoor weather when we could.  Mike and I brought a lot of produce home from BC so we spent today canning 33 jars of pickles, and many batches of refrigerated pickles. We still have blueberries and peaches yet to process, but the simple act of this basic activity is rewarding as you witness the outcome of your work.

We have had many conversations this week between the difference of doing something for ourselves or trying to do something for others. We both can see ourselves doing something that would benefit seniors in our community but we also see us looking for remote land.

I must say that, even since my last blog, I don’t feel as lost, but I definitely have not found my passion yet either.  There are many things I know I would like to do, but I want to make sure that I’m being true to myself. There have been seeds planted these last few weeks, and now I need to wait to see what will grow. In the meantime, attending classes helps nourish me and allows for time to figure things out. I need to make a definitive plan though because time can easily slip away.  It is Aug already!

See you on the mats!
