I am currently visiting Kelowna, British Columbia. I would say up to this point in my life, it is my hometown. Downtown Kelowna is one of my favorite places to be in the summer. It is still such a "small town" downtown. Hardly any high-rise buildings and not too too many people, just the perfect amount for the people watcher that I am. I wish staring was socially acceptable.
I used to just love Kelowna, or maybe I should say I used to be so content living here. It definitely is a most beautiful place with its lake and big mountains surrounding it in the cozy little valley. I just am realizing it isn't the be-all end-all place for me. I actually would go so far as to say I would be perfectly happy never living here again. I love visiting though, it is the people that make Kelowna beautiful to me now. (I talk as though I have been gone years - it's only been three months that I have not been living in Kelowna)
I think these feelings and thoughts on the matter is the way God is preparing me for leaving for good. I have been feeling a bit homeless. I wasn't really settling down in Lucky Lake, Saskatchewan - where I have been for the last three months, living with my parents, working on a seed potato farm, because I knew I was going to be having an extended visit to Kelowna, and then eventually making my way east for school in the fall. So here I am, knowing, but not knowing what my little future holds. I am half excitement, half worry. I think thats the place where the majority of the people in this world live.
I don't want every entry of this blog to be like this one - long and "dear diary-ish" . I hope that this can be a way of processing things going on in my life by spewing them out here on these pages as well as telling some funny stories in hopes of making someone laugh. I love making people laugh, not so much for their sake, but mine. The word ego-centric comes to my mind. Is that the right word? Oh well. So here begins the journey - places, please.
