wow that's one year!
I left Edmonton March 13ish 2007 for "my time away" and as you've heard me say many times it's great. It been rewarding to reflect on the year and think of the many unique experiences I have had. So, excited to see you all, (ticket home is booked for may 2) and I'm also having a hard time thinking of leaving Puerto. I have been very reflective, enjoying extra trips to the beach, lots of fruit, getting in some more sailing (last week I even had what I would call big wind, it was a blast), and I am enjoying the extra heat that has just settled in. "Summer" is back here. (My definition of summer is when it is hot enough to make you sweat at night just lying in bed). With this new definition though I'll be lucky to get a day or two of summer back home in Edmonton :(
Over the past month there have been many flowering trees, and even though it's always green, it has felt a bit like spring (maybe it's the Tim Horton's coffee I've been savoring from my Christmas parcel. (Roll up a rim for me!) I am very happy to be getting home when garden season starts. I am looking forward to seeing what's growing and planting some more. (Lesson from Palawan: you can never have too many plants, got to love green!)
Before coming out here I came across a poem from an advertisement; I cut out it out to keep because it was very inspiring at the time. Reading it now I feel the message has inspired much of the great experiences in the past year; the words came to life here so I figured it was worth sharing on the anniversary of my year.
Draw on your own energy
Transform the moment into an event
Play music, paint, or write
Explore the unknown, share ideas
Be passionate about issues - a person
Exercise your body
Cross the finish line like there is no tomorrow
Be mindful of yourself and the world around you

I think the add was for a power bar or drink or something. I hope you are able to live it and enjoy it as much as I have.
I tried to download more pictures to reflect each line but the computer won't let me?? who knows. Anyways the one picture I got says lots about how I feel!
ingat!!

I'm sad you have to come home.... but I'm glad you have to come home!
See you soon...even if it's too soon, it will never be too soon for me.
Hi Angela,
I cannot believe a year has already past. I have enjoyed reading you blog.
May I suggest, after you readapt, that you have another get together for those who of us who attended your fundraiser at Schanks. I was one of those people and would love to hear about your trip, from you.

Hi Anja
Well that's dogs, they are not into letting you have a graceful moment, even when they're friendly much less when they're not.
I am impatiently waiting patiently to see you when you get back. There is some catching up to do. We are expecting Sara to move back for the summer after her first year at University of Lethbridge, that happens around April 24. We'll see the impact on the laundry bill. Neil has decided to stay in Camrose this summer, he hasn't found work yet, but a friend has something in mind that should employ him for the time. It gives you one of those time does fly moments. I have been quite busy with my spring preoccupation, calving season. It has gone well with 12 done and 3 to go and one loss. I've also got an involved cow motherhood, calf napping and fostering story to tell you.
Any way we plan to see on the 2nd, till them take care and don't let the dogs bite.
