My "Poll" Post

.....and now it begins. Although it's been one complete week since I've left the comfort of home in Calgary I have yet to set the tone for my new avenue for communicating to my friends and family. For that I apologize. I would say today I finally no longer feel jet lagged...albeit with increased clarity of thought I do realized that nothing is familiar anymore. No longer do I turn a street corner and feel like I'm in comfortable territory. No longer do I walk into my home and feel the warmth of familiarity. I can say nothing but fantastic things about feeling unfamiliar in my environment. I now have a great opportunity of starting anew with all the things I have learned and experienced in the past. What better opportunity to explore and be adventurous then to not know where you are going....let alone where you even are!

London has been fantastic so far, although I imagine the "honeymoon" feeling will wear off. With that I challenge myself, as well as all of you reading this, to take some time to find something "fantastic" and reflect upon it because we all know the feeling you have when you experience something for the first time is a unique and exciting one.

With this I open the portal to my new adventure of vigilantly dreaming big, never looking back....but always looking in the opposite direction here in London when crossing a street.

How perfectly put. I love your finding joy in unfamiliarity. This paragraph cements my desire to experience the same: thank you for the apropos affirmation.
