feeling great

I actually worked out this morning.
My husband and I commute so I drop him off at work for 7 am.
I don't have to work until 8:30, so I have an hour before my shift to do what I please.
I finally got an access card for the gym in my office building so I wanted to use it.
We have a beautiful little pond on the property, so I walked around the loop twice and climbed the stairs in between. Then off to the gym and worked the stationary bike for 15 minutes. Then stretching afterwards.
Overall I worked cardio for 30 mins and then cool down for 15.
I feel great !
I'm sure to have a wonderful energy day and a good sleep tonight.
I hope I can keep up with this routine.

Missing Family

I can't wait for September !!!

I am so lonley for my family.
My Daddikins.
My sissers.
My bro.
And the whole rest of the clan - Stevenson's and Browne's and extras!!!
I must say that I have the best family in the/my world.
How else can I feel?
I've been away from my home town since October 2008.
Don't get me wrong, I love my new life and my new job and my new town and my husband more than anything.
But my family has been there for a long time and we are all very close and have been through so very much together and apart. There's bonds that will never be broken no matter how far apart we are.
My poor husband is afraid he'll be left out when we go visit. I wish he wouldn't worry. He just doesn't understand the need for reconnecting to my roots and family. The love that swirls around. I hope he can feel part of it and enjoy it as much as we all do.

POEM: The Garglefish

The Garglefish,
As everyone knows,
Is a fish of the Grand River that grows
Till it's meters long from tail to nose;
It's quite a sight to see one.
But Garglefish,
As everyone fears,
Are very hungry and rather queer,
They'll jump from the water and snap off your ear;
It's really hard to flee one.
And worst of all,
Around here they say
That Garglefish in light of day
Look like people and seem ok!
They live by the river and seek their prey;
You never know who'll be one.
So very nice families like Gergoviches
May in fact be Garglefishes!
Look out when you see one.

Canada means so much to me. Especially since I no longer reside there. All of my family still lives there. I grew up in a small town in Ontario. It is one of the most beautiful areas of the country that I have been to.
I have driven across Canada; from Ontario to British Columbia. It is an amazing wonder to behold.
There are so many areas that I would still love to visit and hope to one day.

Happy Canada Day to all of my family and friends and fellow bloggers !
