Moments and Memories

There are moments in my life where I can turn back to memories that make me smile, tear, laugh, have that glint come into my eyes of the mischief of the past that truly make my days good ones.


I have been very lucky in finding myself a space in Victoria where I have a great job (I work with the Government and they keep you employed until you retire) with benefits (which I am continually working on learning the ins and outs of) and a man who appreciates me just the way I am.


Admittedly I catch myself doing comparisons with my ex-fiancée but overall they aren't bad things. I know now what I am worth and I am treated the way that I should be. These days I will take no less.


I've had some grand adventures and there are so many more planned for the future. Today is 38 weeks and 6 days until my 40th Birthday. I am going to Las Vegas with two of my very best girl friends. They are two very different and unique individuals with me in common. We are going to be staying at a time share of my Uncles and going to hopefully wear out some walking shoes.


My Beau of almost two years now and I are making plans for the future. Not small plans either. They are going to be big and HUGE ones. We talk about adding more adventures to our list, now this list is currently only in our minds but there it is nonetheless. Currently we have added a Clipper boat ride from Victoria, BC to Seattle, WA with a flight to San Francisco, CA for a long weekend next Easter. Now that doesn't even compare to the adventures we two are having this year in and about Victoria so having more to look forward to is totally exciting.


I am blessed by the people in my life and the life I am living. I have my moments of happy and sad, as we all do, and I know others have as well. I am in the self care first before I can care of others mode at the moment, although if someone needs me I try to be there. Do my damndest but I also know that I can be an ear, a shoulder and a voice or a silent presence just to BE for that person.


 I believe I am a reflection of the people that I choose to surround myself with and I hope that they feel the same.


~~~ It's been a while since I've blogged and I have reread over the years my bits and pieces.


 They are that indeed. Here's hoping this will be / may be sporadic but a truthful spot for me.


If you are along for my adventure...hold on tight :)
