"To err is human, to forgive is divine."
This week is full of lessons and hardships... I think I am realizing that I am harder on myself than I need to be and that this only serves to make me unhappy. To keep me going I am spending a good amount of my time day dreaming and making plans... it balances out all the time I have to spend dealing with the hard realities of changes that are coming (whether I like it or not).

My first few weeks home have been pretty good though. Tobi and I are getting along smashingly and getting a lot done on the road to getting settled and set up here. We're spending lots of time with my family and that is really nice. I am trying to get in lots of time at home, while my home is still here. Tobi and I have had some lovely socials with new and old friends including a lovely lunch with Nora during which we got the low-down on lots of projects on the go in MTL, attending the opening for the Gender Alarm show at La Centrale Gallery curated by Coral Short (soooo many Vancouver people present at that party it was like being back in Vancouver for a night), supper with Anna and her beau at Santropol and a board game night with the whole crew over at Steph's place.

I miss my friends in Vancouver pretty hardcore. I find myself talking about Vancouver way too much. I am trying to concentrate on looking forward and not back.

that's a long list, but it starts with "all the super rad people doing super rad, interesting things"

It's hard to get excited about living in new places when you still have so many connections to what you left behind. But eventually you'll become more engaged and able to appreciate vancouver in such a way is loving but allows you room to accept other things into your life

that's what i am hoping. I spent a lot of time last night thinking about patience and putting myself into a place where I am patient with myself and this city. Total engagement can't just happen overnight.
