The Yukon seems to be the most beautiful place in the world to me right now. I cant get over the spectacular scenery. Its been here the whole time(you figure?), but Ive never really appreciated it till now.
I found these sunglasses in our car, and its been so sunny and bright, that necessity has forced me to wear the hideous safety goggle style contraptions. They have rose colored lenses in them and they make everything pop when i wear them. So yes, the title today is appropriate both literally and figuratively. I have been exceptionally happy with my surrounding. I have been seeing the Yukon in a brand new light. I have been enjoying my family and work in ways i never did before. perhaps i am seeing the Yukon in light of my time in nanaimo. Perhaps in the figurative sense, nanaimo became my rose colored glasses. On their own, a hideous head pinching contraption, but when looking through them(it) a brand new view on the everyday things around me.
so yes, I am happy. Two weeks here and things are falling into place. i haven't sleep so consistently sound in over two years. Ive created a two week rotating menu which my boss is exceptionally happy with. Ive had some of the best compliments on my work and personality that Ive ever had. and i just genuinely feel wanted and useful. Its been wonderful.
I think the best thing i have done is to come to terms with the fact that i will have NO social life for the next 4 months outside of work and family. I have no expectations and none of the feelings of entrapment which i had before. I'm looking forward to seeing you all when i return, and I'm keeping you in the back of my mind as my sanity and my consolation at the end of it all. But seriously, if it weren't for you guys, i wouldn't miss nanaimo at all...except maybe the river on a hot summer
day.
That being said.....I do miss you all IMMENSELY! Please keep in touch.
much love to you all.

I'm so glad you're having a great time back at home! You really don't appreciate things until you've been away from them for awhile, do you?
We sure do miss you though!!!
I'm so happy to hear you're happy up there darlin', you really do deserve it. Expect a huge barrage of letters and the like from the few of us down here that have your addy :) Much love and misses for ya hun!
i'm so glad you wrote such a happy post! it sounds great!! when you think about it, nanaimo really doesn't have much going for it except for friends. i have to admit, i panicked at the beginning of the post, before you said that you were coming back. then i relaxed. it sounds like moving away puts things in better perspective, eh?
Lisa i have decided me and you are like the arch enemies who could never live without eachother like the wiley coyote and the road runner and glad to hear your doing good!
