We have made a conscious decision to slow down the pace of our renovations and relax more. We haven't accomplished as much this month, but we haven't been as stressed either. We continue to walk with Vecsey twice daily and have been enjoying the presence of two eagles at Lily Beach. The natural beauty of the area reminds us everyday why we decided to move here. We read a lot and have seen many movies lately. It's also been great to meet at the firehall with some new friends to enjoy meals and good company. |
Unfortunately, our new year began with tragic news as we were informed of the passing of a wonderful man, Mike Lew. The father of a close friend when we were teenagers, Mike coached my soccer team for many years. He lived his life with an infectious positivity that now has me once again questioning the grander plan. How can it possibly be better that his seven grandchildren grow up without knowing firsthand how great he was? The celebration of life ceremony was handled well and it was nice to see former teammates after so many years, even if under such sombre circumstances. Perhaps we should have a reunion and play a match... |
