Off to Sweden… see you soon!

I’m all packed and just about ready to leave. First stop is Toronto, where I’ll stay overnight with my sister, and then I’m off to Sweden, where I’ll be helping a friend get ready for her wedding.  I haven’t seen my friend for two and a half years! I can’t really believe it has been that long! The last time I saw her was in Kuwait; I was traveling in the Middle East at the time and she was living there temporarily for work purposes. Now she is back in Sweden and getting married next Saturday.  She is a wonderful person, a terrific friend, and I absolutely love her fiancee, too.  I have another close friend in Sweden too, and I can’t wait to see her either! I’ll be returning at the end of the month, so you will find more on Saver Queen at that time.

Thank you everyone for contributing such thoughtful comments on the blog over the last couple of weeks and for sending me supportive emails. Your friendship has been so helpful during these challenging time.

I thought I’d leave you with one quotation from the book, When Things Fall Apart, by Pema Chodren (Gail told me that she likes Pema Chodren too!)

Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it.  Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about.  The off-centre, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught, and in which we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit.”
