As of today, dah masuk dua bulan ngam-ngam we have been calling this Arbour Lake apartment our home (away from home). Do I miss our house in Muscat? Hmmm, kinda. It’s the comfort of being surrounded by your own things, more than anything. Your belongings. Quello è tutto.
This week started today, Tuesday. T’was a long weekend – Thanksgiving. I sure gave many thanx to Be for his effort to stay away from his office. We went for a drive yesterday…to
Frank, Blairmore, Coleman, Crowsnest Pass, passing Black Diamond, and even to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump!
It was fun. I truly felt ‘enriched’ in so many ways, to have the opportunity to tengok dunia. The Prairie, the foothills and the mountains. Needless to mention the farmlands and pinelands and the snow lah kan! Every time I see new things…God’s work, I keep thinking of how much I am going to miss it all when I am gone.
Grateful I am, for what life has given me. For where life has taken me. I used to look back at those painful years, still feeling that I was the manusia paling malang dalam dunia. I wept for the woman I once was, embraced her and pujuk her hati yang lara. Ewah!
And because I did that, I am a stronger person today. Like I told you, I can even fly now! (Don’t believe everything you read…silly!) I still cry when I need to. No qualm about crying. And no pride to say sorry when I know I am wrong. My strength lies in the recognition that I am human and God has a bigger plan for me.
See what those gorgeous mountain views and fresh air have done to my brain? Eeeek! Philosophical pulak!
