After a day spent relaxing, taking Ellie to the ocean for a swim, a leisurely lunch overlooking the water in Deep Cove, C.C. flew east while I went off to meet both my daughters for dinner.

And today, I am driving East. Homeward bound. It’s a long drive (about 11 hours), so I’ve headed out early. Little time to blog first thing. (I’m actually writing this at night)

Making a difference is not at the forefront of my thinking today. I am focused on driving up and over the coastal range, away from the ocean and the lush green forests of the coast into the interior, through orchards and vineyards into the Rockies. Up and over the Roger’s Pass until I descend into the leeward side of the Rockies, back to Calgary. Back to the sprawl of the city spreading along the rolling foothills, edging out into the prairies.

The difference will be felt in a different clime, different vegetation, different season. While in Vancouver spring is in full bloom with cherry blossoms creating a canopy of white and pink blossoms every where you turn. In Calgary, spring is still just an idea, a notion of something to come once winter has wrapped itself up for another season. Spring is in the air, it’s just not yet into the ground, digging out the frost, moistening the soil with welcoming rains.

I shall be back again tomorrow musing about making a difference, but for today, may you live your best, give your most and feel you always make a difference worth living for — because you do!

Namaste.
