Rockin’ the Mo..
Life should never be taken too seriously..
No matter what happens in life there are always people there that can cheer you up and be there to lift your spirits. It’s hard to believe that one of those in the pic above is now a mum and the other is studying law.. I’m not sure I would trust either of them. But they have taught me to laugh again when I thought things got hard and have taught me not to take life too seriously.. (with them around it’s not that hard).
For some reason life leads us in a direction that allows us to cross paths with people that we would never have otherwise met and circumstance leads us to become friends when perhaps in normal surroundings we may not have stepped out of our comfort zones to talk with one another.
In October 2010 I had been in Calgary for 7 months and with my first winter on the verge of arriving, I was seriously considering whether or not I could handle living in this place for much longer. Then I made the decision to step out of my comfort zone and meet some like-minded people. Yes they were ex-pats, and yes they were Australian, but they understood what it was like to be in a new place and to be the odd ones out. And that changed everything. I have ‘mum (tiger) and dad (lurking zombie)’ to thank for all the amazing people who I have met while I have been in Calgary.
It will be hard to say farewell to them, and little bean in a week or so, but am I ever grateful that they came into my life.xx
