Thoughts on My Life


I haven't posted to this blog since I have been back on Haida Gwaii. I did not return to the islands with the same joy and trying to figure out why is proving to be difficult. Maybe it shouldn't be, maybe it is time to leave to continue my journey.

I have lived here ten years almost and have barely left the islands but to say that I have settled would be a misnomer. Within my little world I have moved all over.

I enjoyed my time off island and the adventures I had, my favourite blogs are the ones that are full of motion and new places within them. Maybe it is time to stop denying what I enjoy doing and not labelling it as something attached to a troubled life.

I read Geogypsy's blog and I am so jealous, I covet what she is doing. There is no reason why I can not do the same thing ~ I have to decide whether I want it bad enough to do what is necessary. Micheal's Meanderings takes me back to those wonderful times I spent in the Yukon before I decided I had to be married and the joy I experienced. I run into trouble when I feel I "have to" settle.

If I am quiet and go back in my life to the very beginning ~ I was an explorer, wanderer even before the heavy stuff in my life happened. It was that wandering and exploring that kept me together ~ why do I deny it in my life now?

Take your life back Carolyn
