What a thing. I had never thought the days would creep up on me like this. In case you are wondering I have committed to posting on here at least once a week. That is, every Monday. Dare I say, without fail ? Oh goodness, I can see it already. The day where I’ll forget to hop on the computer and write my life away ! Can’t really be blamed for that of course. But I will do my best to remain committed to these posts !
Besides all that, I am rather happy to say that I know where I will be living in Japan ! I have been informed in a timely manner that I will be living in Hokkaido. North. Up -waay up. Nothing wrong with that. Luckily I enjoy fresh seafood, which I’m hoping I will have access to in abundance. And as far as I am aware fish have nothing against those cold waters around where I’ll be placed. I have no reason to fear. Fresh fish will be near. Oh, gosh. I can just see it now. I will be spinning this silly humour on this blog just wishing myself funny. Well, I am always in for a laugh.
So the days are getting narrow. I notice this now. Whether it has been informing people and friends about my comings and goings about Japan. . I have an almost certain responsibility to keep in touch and to inform the people I meet -well, the curious ones anyways, of what I am doing and where I am going. I’m okay with that. The only odd bit is that this is all at once becoming very real. Real or readable (?) in that I am going somewhere and that somewhere is away. Sure I may be all jolly and fancy about it now but when it comes down to it at some point I will be an ocean and land expanse away. Degree of separation. Hmm. Oh, no. Not that I’m worried about it, you see. It is that all these emotions, wonderings, preparations are coming up and bubbling up inside me. Suddenly there are all these hellos, and what are you doings, and oh -do you have time to visit? I’m suddenly a very hot commodity and this is not to toot my own horn or owl, but I am realizing for this reason that I am involved in something very real. Teaching, moving, going. That’s life, I suppose.
Well, as I stretch my limbs and yawn my way nearer to bed tonight I am wondering about the papers that I have yet to fill out, contracts to read, insurance primers to. . prime? And well, seminars to go to ! It’s all very exciting, you see. I never would have thought that this would all be such an adventure, but oh, it is ! But again, that’s life isn’t it ? You yourself could be going through a wonder and a whirl of things that you would call just ‘life’. But ah, my affections are only ablaze because I am doing something so very different. Different to me. But hey, you are doing something different, too. Adventuring away doing whatever it is that you do.
It’s going to be a long night.
Well from today on, I am preparing for Vancouver seminars on the weekend, a quaint family holiday and every other splotch that life has in store for me the next few weeks on.
And oh, did I forget to mention that departure is just a few weeks away ? Don’t remind me. The excitement just might make me explode !
Hopefully the next time I can comment more on my proceedings and preparations for departure, but that’s what these things are for, right ? To ramble away on. And so, if I haven’t bored you too far away I’ll save you the glory and invite you back for another read. Good luck in your adventuring.
