a day by the water
Sometimes all it takes is a long walk by the water to make everything okay.
Today my friend and I grabbed some coffees and walked the sea wall. The smell of seaweed, salt air, and the sight of the mountains and my old neighborhood in the distance warmed my heart.
Things are getting exciting in this city as the Olympics are coming to town, but I’m most thankful for these quiet moments.
I’m still enjoying catching up with old friends and roaming the city, and received the good news this morning that I got a job during the games.
It’s nothing glamorous, but I’ll be a part of the action as a host at one of the sights set up in town. I look forward to interacting with all the people coming to Vancouver for the first time and seeing the city take on a new life.
For now I’m enjoying the quiet, and plotting my life here little by little.

Welcome home, Gillian! When do you think your book will come out?
I am working on a new start-up myself, an e-magazine called Delish. I was wondering if you’d like to be a part of it? Either as the subject of a story, or perhaps even as a contributor.
I would like to tell you more but don’t have your email, so since you’ll see mine in the comments info, please get in touch if you’d like to know more!
Thanks so much. And welcome home, again. Good to have you back!

Nothing exciting? Sounds like a pretty damn exciting job to me!
And I second what legal style said. Your love of your city shines through in the pictures you capture.
