where I'm at

Physically speaking, Kingston. We're all moved in, mostly unpacked, and getting settled into new routines.

My body that was my enemy last year, is quickly becoming my friend again. Where it betrayed me and let me down over the past 14 months, it is growing stronger, and showing me that there is still so much we can do together.

Emotionally speaking, I am growing. I am learning to let go of things I can't control. SUCH a challenge for me. I am learning to not be passive aggressive, because regardless of the passivity, it is still aggression and that is not who I want to be. The sarcasm, well, that is another story. I feel so much about so many things. And I feel in a big way - a way that brings laughter, brings tears, brings rage, and creates physical knots in my stomach.

I sometimes stop and just watch what happens around me. I watch the kids play, I watch Dan work, I watch the dragonflys and grasshoppers in the garden. I wonder what's next for me, and I wonder what I want next for me.

it's been a crazy ride

But seems that the rollercoaster has finally pulled back up to the platform and we Greenwoods can all unbuckle our seatbelts now!!! Please exit to the right of the cars, and follow the ramp back down to the amusement park!!

We've been in Kingston now for two full months, have 90% of our boxes unpacked, and are starting to really feel at home. Which is a lovely feeling, after feeling displaced in Toronto for so long. The kids start school this week, and I am planning to start thinking about what's next for me... that's a bit funny... planning to start thinking. Guess it's going to be a process!
