As my favorite season begins, how wonderful it is to revel in the cheerful sounds of nature; birds happily chirping at the first sign of dawn and the soothing ballads of wetland creatures as the day mellows into night.
Spending time at home has reignited my enthusiasm for writing fiction, getting outdoors to do a lot of gardening and reimagining life at home as we continue to traverse these unusual times.
Over the past months I have been inspired by many people and am grateful to all those who shared uplifting stories, insightful and hilarious quotes, pictures and so on. This has given me sunshine on those days when skies were gray.
During the past year, I have tried many new things, like starting a business in home organizing and then closing it because we moved across the country once again.
When we returned to our previous home in Alberta, I went back to work as an educator and assisted children with learning disabilities until schools closed. It has definitely been a strange journey of doing the best we could in such an unimaginable situation.
Now that school is finally over for the summer, I’m eager to have fun with my family, at home. As always, good food and healthy recipes will be on the menu, taking in the sun as much as we can, sharing stories and memories by the fire and dreaming of what tomorrow holds, under starry skies.
Happy Summer to all!
