learning again and again

i've been neglecting my blog over the last 8 days. not intentionally of course. just sometimes life has much more going on than there is time to share it with the world.

one small thing that is currently happening is that matt and i are preparing to leave toronto and make the move to melbourne. it's basically the other side of the world. check toronto and melbourne on the globe and they are pretty much opposite. that's one (or three) long plane ride. there's lot of things to sort out. at least i have a job!

what else have i been doing...

i've been to the dentist - twice. i've been reading dietrich bonhoeffer. i've been playing scrabble online. i've been to the chiropractor (I LOVE HER). i've been to the trading floor at merryl lynch (or however you spell it). i've talked with my girlfriend who's twin girls are due any day now.i've eaten the best crepes with banana and chocolate. i texted another of my girlfriends to wish her a happy 27th birthday. i bought my husbands christmas present, and my nephew and nieces. just to mention a few and keep you in the loop of my life.

one of the lessons i am learning right now is that sometimes, you will never get the glory. now, don't get me wrong, it's not really glory i seek, but sometimes, it's nice to have a little recognition. but, there are times when you work your butt off and you know you are doing the right thing, and good things, but you are never going to get any recognition for it. this is a great lesson to learn. though at times it can be hard. i've also learned that nearly everything, in retrospect, can be made sense of.

ok, so maybe i've learned these lessons before, but i am learning them again.
