May Already?!

Hi everyone,

do you ever get the feeling that the older you get, the faster time passes by. I feel like I shouldn't even be talking about Sri Lanka anymore seeing that I returned 4 months ago...

...So What's been happening over the past couple of months?

-I'm semi-retired (meaning having really figured out the next career move)

-I've been doing some work to incorporate some Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives into my former school

-Geoff has been busy with work at the hospital and with his RIGPA meditation group

-Our apartment is having some work done on it (bathroom and kitchen are being fixed after some water damage)

-I've been contacted by an agency out of Boston that I did some work for in Sri Lanka and I may be facilitating some short-term projects in various parts of the world (beginning in August?)

-Our back deck has been redone and our plants have been resettled (and are doing well)

-We're just about to paint the bathroom and the bedroom

-I've written an article for an International Language Travel magazine

-Slowly but surely the weather is getting warmer and we've been having regular barbecues on the front deck

-We're still taking long walks on the seawall, connecting, talking, and enjoying trying to figure out "what's next?"

-We're attempting to become more active in our community (I've joined the Pride Society, Geoff and I are trying fend off a major development that is overtaking a heritage site, etc)

-And so on...
Take care, sorry for such delayed updates

The joys of water damage

Enjoying the sun in early Spring (end of March)
April flowers in Stanley Park
Sunset on a ferry trip back to Vancouver
Tulips at English Bay
Only 6 weeks until we can enjoy the water again (and the outdoor pools open in 1 week)
