A selection of words from my journal.

Everything has a pretty glow when you're wearing your wine eyes.
- Annonymous

There are few things in life more heart warming than to be welcomed by a cat.
- Tay Hohoff

You still haunt me.
- Annonymous

Your eyes can be so cruel, just as I can be so cruel.
- Jareth the Goblin King - Labyrinth

Where's my bear to lick me clean. Feed my soul milk and honey.
- Moon and Moon by Bat For Lashes

...books, fresh berries, old book smell, heavy novels, open windows, magazines, world maps, remembered dreams, feathers, imagination, summer heat, new ideas, salt water, the smell of rain, watching a storm, reading by a fireplace, day dreaming

A month has past..

Oh dear, I have not had time to write my blog. I have however been keeping a hard journal or the different events along this Canadian path, I may eventually pull some words from it and type them in here for all to see (...all?). However here is a quick overview of my life which has just past...

My arrival in Canada was slightly horrific due to no accomodation. Tears were spilt and a room was found - phew!! I spent a week bonding with a fellow Aussie girl who helped me get back on my pathetic homesick feet.

My boy then arrived for a month of romance..or perhaps that was a month of constant fights and make ups, tears and kisses, anger and love. This is how we are, it's in the stars. Even with all the ups and downs it was still the greatest time spent in Canada so far. I was so lucky to have been able to share some of the incredible beauty of this country with him. We also shared the annoyance of taxes and tipping.

All too soon it was time for him to leave. Airports are horrid places when you go to say goodbye :(

I was incredibly thankful to have made two very good friends who took me in as a sister and looked after me when I was a mess. It's hard to be miserable when you're surrounded by lovely people. I can never thank them enough for what they done for me.

A long overnight bus saw me get to where I am today. I'm currently riding a full on emotion rollercoaster of happiness, sadness, guilt, frustration, courage, stupidity, joy, hate, and love. Thank goodness there is the internet which keeps our loved ones so very close while we are so very far away.

I'm far to stubborn to leave yet. I'll figure myself out here so that I will be better once home.

Is it wrong to be planning so many things for home while I'm still away? My imagination is on overdrive.

One thing is for sure, I really am learning so much more about myself and what I want out of life. What doesn't kill us surely does make us stronger.

Excitement and chills for the on coming Winter. There is snow on the peak and the mornings are frosty.

What next...?
