What will I learn next?

I am on my way to Toronto and am sitting on the loser cruiser...sorry greyhound (wohoo free wifi) I am trying to reflect on the past few weeks of my life. I spent more time over the last few weeks with my family than I have over the last 8 years since I moved outwest. The bad part is I am now fighting a cold the joy of being around little ones but you have to take the good with the bad. It is special when you are spending time with your nephew who is not quite 3 and he looks up from the floor and says to you come play with me, come colour with me or sit with me. My nephew nearly every 5-10 minutes looks at me and says hug and gives me a hug. Hearing my nephew say to my brother no I want uncle Tommy or hearing my other nephew ask to hold uncle Tommy's hand. Spending time with other family members who I hardly know and being able to bust their chops without missing a step.

I had to travel to Europe to learn how to travel within my own country.

I had to leave a good paying job to learn how to save money.

I had to leave Alberta for a second time to realize how much I love it and to know it is where I belong the one good thing is 3rd time is a charm I will be gone for awhile but will be coming back.

I had to travel to learn time is important and you have to appreciate each moment but what time it is really doesn't matter (unless you have to catch a flight).

I can't help but think I had to quit my job in order to spend time with my family. I know I have changed and learned so much about life and myself over the past few months and my journey hasn't even begun.........
