Settling into the Comox Valley



Life is good in the Comox Valley.. I had a few months before Christmas when I guess it finally hit me that I was missing my life.. you know the everyday stuff that that gives our life have the familiar feeling about it. Running into people at the mall, your kids or parents dropping in for a visit or you dropping in on them. Having tea with your neighbour. The things that take years to build that sense of familiar that is deep and makes it feel like home. That is what I missed - but it was when I realized that I will probably not have that again in my life that I think I started to mourn the loss of that.

There is no going back once you have made this big step and you know that so it isn't even an issue - Tim and I do not like the crazy pace of the lower mainland so that life is past and I think it takes years to build that kind of home feeling into your life and I don't know that we will be in one place long enough to really have that again. That was hard coming to terms with that. But I think I have now and I am looking ahead to what is in store in this new place.

I am looking forward to the spring and summer and working in the yard with Tim. We have lots of plans and can't wait to get started. Thought I would put a picture up of our sweet girl - she is great company to have these days.

Tomorrow I will put up some pics of the house. I have spent this evening trying to get my pictures organized on the computer a little.
