Time marches on...

Long time, no speak... but it really is a good thing. Lots of activity in the household what with our up-coming move to different shores. As you can imagine loads and loads to do. Finding it challenging to strike a balance between running (metaphorically speaking) around like a headless chicken trying to get everything in order for emigration AND staying focussed on my usual routine - exercise, not overdoing it, with some rest chucked in for good order! 18 months ago we could not have contemplated such a move, what with the parlous state of my back, healthcare considerations etc. Funny and darn wonderful really, how fast life can change. Big, nay HUGE, nod of thanks to Mr Shepperd, surgeon extraordinaire.

Fair to say I've never been one to take the well travelled path... you know, stay with what's easy or comfy or known. I've constantly challenged myself. Made mistakes it's true. Been reckless some might say. Hungry for knowledge and experiences. Not one to settle for mediocrity. My mum said "be the best that you can be" and that is what I'm striving to do.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

(The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost)

Life's bloody good. O Canada... bring it on!!!
