Vacation

Our final day on the east coast was spectacular! Not only did we spend time with friends, students (in town for their family reunion) and a colleague, we were taken on a boat ride around Pennant Cove. The seas were calm since the cove is protected by several islands and a peninsula.

Being on that boat brought back so many memories of summers spent on Kootenay Lake during my childhood. Our summers then were a time to rest and relax and explore places and activities that we didn’t have time for during the year.

Since then I have gradually become more and more busy, to the point where summer fall winter and spring consisted of work, with very few short vacations.

The past month on the road has helped me remember those days where I could recharge my batteries. Those days when the only thing on the agenda was to get up and do whatever felt right at that moment.

I know it’s not too late to live like that again. My heart is full today and I don’t want to forget what these past 4 weeks felt like!
