...roule roule roule...something-something...I really wish I knew the words to that song. It's one of the songs we sing at the preschool centre, and I don't really know the words but have to pretend sometimes. It's great being bested by a 3-year-old when they're belting out the words to the song you're supposed to know! Good times.
I guess I haven't posted in a while, and it's been even longer since I posted any photos, so I'll see what I can come up with.
This week was Liz's birthday, and we are hopefully going out for supper tonight to celebrate. She's been on night shifts for so many days, including over her birthday, so I haven't been able to properly fête her, which is unacceptable for her 25th! :) Bonne fête, ma belle!!!! If you're reading this.
This photo is from our trip to Niagara Falls with Ruth- I've used it before but it's a good one, even if she looks somewhat saintly, it's an illusion, I assure you! heheh.
There's not too much going on to talk about, I suppose. I've been attending a few shows of local musicians, which I have loved so far. I'm hoping to attend another one of this series on Thursday. One of them was pretty outside the box but fascinating, and I'm glad I went. Another was in a yoga studio- you would have enjoyed it, Haji ;) - and the one on Thursday is at the museum.
It makes me so happy to be getting my fill of culture, to feed my creative side, and grow my artistic sensibilities. (That may be a French word, I can't be sure if I've anglicized that one. Anyways.) All this time, living here, I've been hoping to be a part of this type of community, and though I still feel quite a bit on the fringes, I'm contenting with myself with where things are going. If anything, these friends are giving me a deeper appreciation for my planet, for my community, and, by extension, for who I am and who I can be. That may sound hoky to some, but it really defines where I'm at, I think. At a time when I feel somewhat listless or indecisive (just when I thought I'd conquered that swindly characteristic), it's nice to feel welcome, good to engage with others whose thoughts are simply brilliant or inspiring.
Now you're sorry you stopped by, aren't you...always rambling in this blog!
One more thought before I go- how incredible is it to witness people being their full selves, for lack of a better word? To get to look on as they engage in some activity that makes them so alive. I felt this on Friday at the show, and although it wasn't any kind of religious gathering, I felt so strongly that God was enjoying it, that he was pleased by these people using their talents to the full. I don't know if you've ever experienced that, but it really made me think about how God delights in those he has created when they, in turn, create. Incredible.
Okay, for real I will go now! Haha! You're welcome!
I'm hoping to post some more poems...please comment! I don't really show them much to people and really appreciate any feedback. Even if it's negative! :)
Chat soon.
The weekend before last, I visited my former roommate, Jenny. We hiked to some nearby falls, and enjoyed magnificent views and some great conversation.
That evening, we went back to Jenny's and made a splendid meal of asparagus, roast potatoes and sweet potatoes, and scallops- it was delicious. We haven't had a visit just the two of us for a long time, so it was great to catch up and have that time together.
