newly discovered places....and i lived here for 12 years! no way! =D

=) ottawa can be pretty too!!! 

doesn't this look absolutely eerie? ooohh the thick fog.... 

Mid-summer day's hail... 

how are you?

"how are you?"
"i'm fine, thank you."
"no really. how ARE you?"

it can be the most trivial question, lacking meaning and sentiment.
yet...at times, it can be the most demanding...most painful question.

ESL taught me to answer "i'm fine thank you." and that is what my automated answer for that question is for the longest time.
but at times, i realized the tears that glaze over my eyes at the mere mention of that question. why? it's such a simple question. but potentially...with such profound meaning.
past week's been really blah.
boycotted something really dear to me.
missed something really badly.
yet...all i've got to do was reach out.
but i don't.
and i don't know why.

random thoughts:
on the 6th of may there came hail...it's a pretty awesome sight. rain got frozen in the middle of spring/summer...

random thoughts:
i've always took it for granted that the story of the prodigal son is only for none believers....coming to the Father and the heaven rejoices.
but today i noticed the word "back"; the son not only came, but he came back. and he was just as much his Father's child when he came back.
