Pot Pourri

Not sure what to say exactly but its been a week and my thoughts have been all over the map. Excuse my randomness but in case you are interested (why else would you be reading this) here goes...

Last Wednesday I went to pottery feeling defeated because of the week before. But, after a shakey start, I was able to throw off three cylinders. I think the expectations I place on myself are way too high. After pottery I headed to the airport to pick up my mom from New Brunswick. She is visiting us until Friday.

Busy, busy weekend one engagement after another. I really had no time to do anything with or for my mom until yesterday. I drove her to Banff where we spent the day. That was only my 2nd time there and it was awesome. Who could ever get tired of the mountains?

I am feeling...hmmm...distracted I guess. I read in the paper today of a tragic death of a young couple expecting their first child. They had just finished visiting the site where his brother was killed 5 years ago and then within 5km on the same stretch of Highway they were killed too.

Some headlines as tragic as this make no impact on me whatsoever, and then today it completely invades my mind and pains my heart.

I have been reading different blogs as I often do and I have been observing the ebbs and flows of people's lives. I think it's cool to see how we are all similar in that sometimes we question, sometimes we doubt, we get down, we experience sadness and lonliness as much as excitement and joy. I have been able to see that others struggle just like I do and it doesn't mean that anything is wrong. It is normal. It is life.

So today I am celebrating all of the emotions I have been given even the ones that aren't so nice.
