Everyday cool

Taking for granted, or overlooking, things that you see everyday is something that I think most of us do.  I reminded myself of that the other day when I re-noticed all of the amazing sculptures and rock carvings that are randomly and abundantly placed around the main part of town. Some of them are rough and abstract, and some of them are incredibly detailed.  This one is one of my favorites, just outside of the post office doors, because of the way that it catches the light in all of the grooves.  They also catch snowflakes, which makes for a really pretty effect in the winter.

I was on a break!

I took some time off to take a break from work, and remind some of my family and friends 'down South' what I look like. I had a fun and busy time, and managed to stop over in 3 provinces along the way. While I definitely reveled in a few of the luxuries of Southern life - microbrewed beer, Italian markets, a vehicle with shocks - I found myself less enamoured, and less panicky about doing/seeing/buying/going to all of the the things available. I suppose that's a sign that I've gotten comfortable with the simplicity of Northern life. Or I'm just more apathetic. I'd like to think that it's the first option....
