I wonder if I offended people with my rantings about the Royal family. There have been no comments in a couple of days...

Yesterday, I started the day on a positive note, due entirely to the email I received from a friend that had to leave my life quite suddenly for health reasons and who I had not heard from in a long time. It gave me such a warm feeling to hear that she is doing well and getting on with her life. It brought tears to my eyes while I read the email that she sent to me.

All this despite the feelings I am having from having partaken in a little too much of my favourite tea drink... I have been feeling a little under the weather because of having too much caffeine in my body and now, as I am washing the effects away with litres and litres of water, my body in going through the withdrawal process. I have been sleepy for days...

I also received a letter from another friend yesterday. This person is someone I feel comfortable telling everything to and in a time of me moaning way too much, he has been entirely supportive. It's funny because many of my really close friends are the ones that live halfway across the world...

I also talked with another of my "best" friends over the weekend and she, while going through a personal struggle of her own, gave me some insights that I should have had long ago.

Up until now, I have always been one of the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence" people. When I become dissatified with where I am, I want to move on to somewhere new. Lately, I have been considering Europe (Italy, Iceland, Berlin and the UK) and Japan and China. However, this friend made me see that while they are my ideals right now, that I should consider where it is that I want to die. Funny, but I thought of Canada first.

Don't get me wrong, I love visiting other places but I always come back here. It's not so expensive, and although we have high rates of taxation, some of these other places are much worse. I haven't given up my ideas of going to these other places but now I have a better perspective.

Anyway, here's hoping that you are all well and having a great day! The sun is shining here and that makes the day seem to go more smoothly.
