Snow was gently falling when I landed at Halifax airport yesterday. As I
walked out of the airport it actually was very refreshing to feel the cold air. I looked around and I could see Christmas decorations and lights and I was shocked
to realize we were just a month away from Christmas celebrations.
I had the day off today to sleep and relax. But at 7am It wasn't the birds
and Monks chant that I was waking up to, but the sound of traffic and paving
starting on my street. I laid there wondering what sounds everyone else would
be waking up to.
All day today I felt a heaviness in my heart and body. No energy to do
anything. I did go out for a few groceries and laundry.
I wonder what is this heaviness I'm feeling. I'm sure a little is due to
lack of sleep. I woke up every two hours last night trying to figure out where I
was and who I was sharing the room with. But there is also an empty feeling as
if something or someone is missing. My phone has been ringing all day with
family and friends excited to hear about my journey. Most calls I actually
ignored since I'm not ready to share yet.
The last two weeks were amazing how 17 strangers came together to form a
strong friendship. United together to help two families build a home that will
be in their families for many generations. I thank each and everyone of you for
being part of this journey with me. We all know this isn't our last build. When
and where will our paths cross again?
I know this feeling will pass as I return to work tomorrow with the
excitement of 18 three-year-olds when I tell them I rode an elephant.
