Well it is my last night in town. Holey Moley. Just had a nice dinner with the family at Chach's place. Good times hanging out and chowing down. And tomorrow I leave for Japan. I don't really know what this next year holds for my family and I. The desire to look and plan ahead is driving me crazy. It is so ingrained in what I do and how I do it. But I am making myself a pledge to try and enjoy everyday for what it is. When I am with my family I want to be present and say yes to the things I am asked, Do you want to play? Lets go outside? Can we make ramen for dinner? Can we .... together? I really hope I can make that answer yes every time. Lets face it, I don't have anything else planned. And when I am not doing that I hope I will read, think and write. I want to listen to Podcasts and learn to play guitar. I want to study Japanese and learn to be a fisherman. And I do want to plan. I want to look ahead and see if I can make out where my life is going. And at the same time to stay present. Well life begins anew tomorrow. Just like it does everyday. Hopefully I will notice that and make the most of it.
I wish all you Canadians the best and I will try to make time to blog while in Japan. Keep you all in the loop.
Love out.

Maybe your japan blog needs a different flavor. Check out my friend sarahs blog statement - I think it's very interesting. And another friend who went to Nepal for a year made her blog for that time about a weekly Friday reflection on what the experience was teaching her and what she was thankful for.
