I was thinking today that now that I am not travelling or living abroad writing about my life in Ottawa seems even more trivial. Yet it’s been a habit for so long I don’t want to disappoint my readers. (That’s you Lucy and Andrew!)

With so much free time on my hands I can’t help but think and think some more. Geoff told me that I am very lucky to be where I am right now with so many possibilities. I have nothing holding me down and I could go anywhere or do anything.

That’s one way to look at it. Unfortunately sometimes I fail to see this and all I do is panic about all the decisions I have to make. Should I do this? Should I live here? Should I move there? I just panic.

I do have the habit of changing my mind a lot to put it mildly. I love direction, if there’s somebody to point me one way, that’s a relief.
