And So It Begins.

Because I seem to spend more time with a computer than a pen these days, I thought I would start a blog rather than another paper journal. It is my hope that I can remain a little more consistent with addressing my thoughts this way than I have been when trying to write things down. I have started so many written journals over the years that I turn to regularly for a couple of weeks and then they disappear into oblivion. This blog may suffer the same fate, but it is worth a shot to see how I do. 

I am currently on summer holidays and it is a glorious day outside. I spent most of my day exploring areas just outside of Calgary and enjoying the nice weather. We have had pretty dismal weather so far this year so I have been trying to get outside as much as possible. It is funny how we moan and whine about the horrible weather and then when it IS nice outside, people still seem to hangout indoors. I have been guilty of this many times myself so I am making a concerted effort this year to get outdoors. 

This is the second random day trip that I have taken in  a week. It is nice to have the freedom and the resources to just head out and see where the day takes you. The only thing I wish is that I had company when I take off for the day. Summer as a teacher is great, but it can get a little lonely when everyone else you know is either working or travelling. It feels weird to go from the hustle and bustle of activity that I see for 10 months of the year to having days where I actually don't speak to anyone. I enjoy my quiet time, but I am inherently a people person and long for human interaction. Well - I have an excellent weekend planned so that should remedy my complaints!
