Whew,
What a challenge. When you haven't ran in years and you think you can run for an hour!!! Think again. We cut it down to half an hour. Jan thinks I'm crazy running for an hour. Jan and I ran today and I sure was huffing and puffing. But the scene was amazing. We ran though the fields and into the orchard area. There were so many apple trees and plum trees that I wanted to stop running and pick them. But that means I'm stealing, says Jan. I guess I'm not a stealer, although, Tanya and I picked a lot of fruit in Italy and there are always so many that they just fall to the ground anyway. So why not pick some!!!
I was a good girl and kept on running. I wanted to see how Jan did, but clearly, I'm out of shape. He ran a few weeks ago, so he is in better shape than I am. My goal is to run a bit everyday as long as the weather holds up. Tee sun was blazing hot today in the afternoon and freezing this morning. I wore my winter Jacket and was still cold as I wasn't really wearing warm pants. I can't believe how hot it can be in the afternoon and freezing cold before and after. I guess fall is almost over and winter is coming.
Well, It's Thanksgiving over in Canada. I hope everyone got lots of turkey and spent time with family and being thankful of what you have.
My thankfulness...
Congrats to Joyce Lo and Joe Kwan! They tied the knot today. I wasn't able to make it, but best wishes to you both. Please spend pictures so that I can see and be part of your special day.
My family: Miss you lots. Miss the Chinese food. Don't miss Keo barking!!! hahaha. But I'm sure he misses me, but not when there is turkey for him!!! Oh man, I get to miss the Turkey Congee. I guess i'll have to make some myself....where is my 1000 year old egg???
My grandpa: It's been 1 year since you past away and have gone to a better place. Thank you for your love and your ambition to come all the way to Canada. You have provided the generation and the next to be living in a successful, fun, free, healthy, and wild life. Bless you, miss you.
My friends: Thanks for reading my blog. It means a lot, but it would be nice for you to comment as well so that I know you are reading and have a bit of a conversation happening. If not, and you have time and want to skpye, feel free. My internet is up and running and I would love to chat when you have time. Email me for a skpye date!
My Jan. I met Jan on June 21 at Greystone College. I am now living with him and beginning a new journey with him. He has changed my life and is willing to live with me to live life to the fullest and in laughter. He is a great listener, caregiver, and lover. I'm thankful for him to be in my life.
It's great to think about what I am thankful for. I guess not being able to celebrate it with family and friends makes me think that life is too short. You never know when you will have time to spend it with family and friends and it is important to me to be with the people I love. At this time in my life, I'm learning to love myself, so i'm taking the time away from family and friends to do that. My life now is in Germany and to experience it full of laughter. I will keep you posted on what my laughter's are.
1st laughter!!! Eating tortilla chips, cheese and apples for dinner!!!! HAHAHAHA. Don't worry. we are eating. We had a big lunch....they have dinner for lunch and lunch for dinner. I don't know if I can get use to that. hahaha.
Photos will be up next... 1st up, ROME!!!
