always look on the bright side of life

Even when the post you are working on is deleted because of a strange computer glitch....

My aunt and uncle from Ontario are on the Island right now because my mom's family is celebrating their immigration to Canada 50 years ago this April. I think that my aunt is so special because she has just the best attitude of anyone I have ever known and laughs so freely. And we had a little chat the other day about when she came to Canada. Obviously it wasn't the easiest thing to come to a new country and leave everything you have ever known behind, but she came through it knowing that life is what you make it, and it was her choice to make it good.

I was asked to update by a friend who I hope I didn't bore or disappoint by this post - but suck it up, or read something else...
you always have a choice ;)

you gotta be stronger

The program was a challenge, but life offers such a different challenge itself and who is to say which is harder. I for one knew there was a day when I would get off the program and would get to start anew.

Life on the otherhand doesn't seem to offer such a time. I guess it all depends what you do yourself to change things. Look at Charlie Sheen, he did well for a few years, changed his life and even got himself a beautiful wife and some kids then by his own hand, screwed it all up again. I wouldn't have screwed up an opportunity like that, but I didn't get the chance anyway. Maybe it is all for the best, I just hope it gets easier sooner rather than later.

there's your trouble

I have been home such a short time and it seems like I have done so much - shopping that is. I feel like I need these things, but I know that in what I bought there is very little that is truly essential.
I am already feeling the pressure to decide right now what my future will be. A lot of it is questions about what comes once I am done of work. I don't know, honestly no clue. There are ideas as to what I should be doing....
I also got all my braids taken out. Yay! It is such a light, lovely feeling, like a burden being lifted. It helps that I also got a haircut - my first professional one in at least six months. I got to talk to most of the other Canadian girls from CWY and it sounds as they are doing well and are enjoying the freedom of "real life" ;) Me too.

feels like home

Here I am, home at last. It felt so good to get home, I had a lot of people waiting for me when I got in. They all look so good and pale, lol. My hair is in these braids but I am so ready to take them out, but Jenn and the rest really want to see it. I'll see about that. Mom is downstairs finishing up on the feast she will serve tonight when Jenn and Darcy get in, it smells divine. And dad is sitting and reading up on Australia, where Jenn and Darcy are headed next. Life is sorta just the same old thing, but it has a new excitement and I plan on keeping that feeling for as long as I can.

girls, girls, girls

I only have 3 minutes left on this computer, but I wanted to pot and say that everything is going well. I will be home this weekend and am excited that I will be home. It was kinda tough saying goodbye to thes girls, they were great friends and I hope a few will remain so for a long time. Gotta go....
