I am taking the chance and following the voices that call me to distant places. A new adventure, my life on my back, and my inanimate travel buddie, I am almost ready to head out.
So I finally packed my pack. It is pretty full and I will have to repack it about 5 more times to get it right. I do have everything in it I want to take, but chances are there are a few things I don’t need to take and can live with out. I don’t think I really need that 6 pairs of pants, and 12 tops. I am headed to the beach so it should be filled with bikinis and suntan lotion, what else do I really need?
I thank Lindsey and Mike for opening up their home to Misha and I. Lindsey and I have been friends since we were 5, we grew up together in Drayton Valley. Lindsey will be taking care of my dear Misha "Muffin" while I am away. I couldn't have found a more caring and loving cat person to look after her. Misha has adjusted to her new home very well and will be very happy there.
Last night I had a small gathering of close friends for a Bon Voyage party. It was such a blast. We went to Earls Downtown to eat and then over to Fuel. A friend and favourite Calgary Dj Cary Chang spins there on the weekends. He dusted off some golden oldies just for me, what a sweetheart. Now I sit and reflect on my years past in Calgary. Wow, I have such amazing friends here. I wish I could pack you all up and take you with me. It’s hard saying good-bye, up-root everything, and head out on your own to places that are so far away from what you know and are comfortable with. It’s all very exciting, somewhat scary and humbling all at the same time.
Calgary has been my home for the past 8 years. I have had such a great time in Calgary. The memories and friendships I have made I will always cherish. Not sure if I will be back to Calgary to call it “home” again, well I guess it will always be home, just not sure if my heart will want to rest here again. But you never know….if there is
one thing I have learned it’s never say never…..
