Well, this is it… the last night of my sabbatical year.
Tomorrow I go back to work at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
Tonight I am happily exhausted from a weekend of fun and sun at Sandbanks with some of the most amazing people I have ever met. This group is the enduring legacy of the Kinder Garden and I love being with them and being reminded of how special a thing it was to build our little child care co-op. I am amazed and grateful for the friendships and good times the Garden continues to provide 11 years later.
Living my sabbatical to the last possible moment I am just home from a night out listening to live music at the Horseshoe here in Toronto. The music was so HOT! I do have to work tomorrow though so we called it an early-ish night.
People have been asking if it is weird to be back and my answer is yes, but not in a bad way. I love my life in Toronto. I have family, friends and a job with an organisation that I love. Coming back to my life here is fantastic! I am so, so lucky. But it is also weird because I see everything with a different perspective and clarity. I am worried about going back to work and the day in/day out routine getting me down.
I will post once I have been at work for awhile to officially sign off the blog and close my sabbatical year. In the meantime, the adventure continues!
