All Shook Up...

I'm back!!
It's been a long month or so but I'm online once again...
with a totally different outlook on life.
-------
This past month has been one of, if not the, most challenging months of my life.
To start off I've moved to Ottawa... a city that well... isn't quite Edmonton.
As if that wasn't hard enough, life ewa painful disaster into the mix and blew up the truck that was carrying all my belongings from point A to supposedly point B.
So here I am, in a new city, with nothing.
-------
However! The Lord provides right?
I've begun replacing some things that are able to be replaced and now that I'm online I am able to retrieve some photos I luckily put online, that I lost in the fire.
The Salvation Army has taken really good care of us and I appreciate it immensely.
-------
My new bed is soft, though missing my favourite companion... Rev. Bear. R.I.P.
And my walls are blue, but missing Bob Dylan and my art work.
-------
I've made a few new friends though, which is awesome cuz they are all so rad!
Ryan and his wifey and cute little girl.... Kerrie and I spent the day with them touring around, getting really bad sunburn and visiting the Parliament and Art Gallery.
Sid, Allison, Jacob, Liam and Aaron... love em to death!!!
And i do suppose that is all for now... however everyone I've met so far have been so nice and very welcoming.
-------
I feel like a Rolling Stone.
-------
I find things ironic. Such as the fact that I became obsessed with Bob Dylan and 'Like A Rolling Stone' right around the time of my move. The song talks about a girl who goes from living a high class life, having everything she ever needed or wanted, to being one with the street and living her life begging. In a way I've come to relate to this girl. I went from having it all to being stripped down to nothing, over night. Now I know I'm not on the street and I still have a roof over my head, but I do feel like I can relate better now to people who have lost everything. All my possessions are things the world gave me... and all I really need is the gifts God has given me. It's been a huge eye opener, and I do appreciate it.
-------
Humidity is sticky.
The airport is basically my neighbour, so air traffic is more common then street traffic.
Is a Harrow a type of bird or a piece of farming equipment?
What's your Starbucks Drink?
