The Simple Life Is The Best Life


Monday, 28 July 2014




As they say - these boots are made for walking. I am on my way to Lethbridge and although I don't have to walk there, I look out the window of the bus and see the beautiful countryside. The canola fields are bright yellow with the rockie mountains hiding in the background. The sky is blue with small fluffy yellow clouds hanging along the horizon line. Other fields are full of golden round bales and everywhere is a green grass. It is a relaxing sight. It makes me feel a heartsickness for home. It reminds me of Saskatchewan. I am glad I took the bus. It gives me a chance to look out the window and take time to really look at the sites. You can't do this when you are driving. You can can't just let your eyes wonder and your mind wonder.


I find myself wondering many different thoughts. I wonder about how it will be to seem my family after being away for 10 months. I wonder how my parents will look different. I wonder if I will look different will my friends recognize me? Am I the same before I went away overseas? I wonder about what plans and details are already sorted out for me without me knowing. I wonder how it can be the middle of July and my holidays are half over. I wonder about what I should be doing to make sure I take in everything I need to take in so can appreciate being back home. What were those things that I missed when I was away from Canada. During those moments of homesickness what did I miss? It is hard to remember being homesick now that I am back in Canada.
