Paradise Found  I have to admit that there are days when the beauty of my new found world simply astounds me. Back in February I made a move from a place I had lived in for 15 years to a newer, smaller home on a hill overlooking the city of Calgary. I had reached a point in my life where it became necessary to downsize. Honestly, after years that seemed to magically fly by, my have all grown up and moved on with their lives .. well all of them except my youngest . She’s 20 now and has chosen to live at home until she has her finances in order (or until she and her boyfriend announce their engagement and move to some quiet little spot in sunny California overlooking the ocean). Because it was winter when I moved the landscape and scenery didn’t play a huge part in my choice of location. In reality the deciding factor came down to how quiet the neighborhood was in a city the size of Calgary and how quaint this 2 bedroom townhome was that I had found .. tucked neatly away - just off the beaten path. It’s a place I enjoy coming home to at the end of the day. It’s bright and cheery and is a breath of fresh air after a long winter. And now that summer is here, I am beginning to notice just how beautiful it really is. For one thing, I love trees. I have come to realize that no matter what, I have to live somewhere where there are lots of trees. As luck would have it there are two big ones right outside my bedroom window and a plethora outside my ’s. And when it’s warm outside I like to open the window wide and listen to the sound of the wind in the leaves. At night it’s very soothing. Lying quietly in bed, it’s so easy to let my mind wander to people and places I used to know. So easy to wonder where those people are now ... and how they’re doing. The birds are plentiful here as well .. especially in the early morning as they like to sit in the tree outside in the front yard and tease the cats and of course wake everyone up at the break of dawn. Actually dawn is a bit of a stretch .. it’s usually dark here when they start with the singing. Who needs the alarm when you have the birds right?! There are parks aplenty and the Bow River so close by. Coming home at night from work in the summer you can always find a group fishing off the banks or wading into deeper water to try their luck. I simply can’t describe how blessed I am to have found this little piece of heaven. So now that we’ve settled in, I’m looking forward to my endless summer where memories are just waiting to be made and adventure lurks around every corner. The “Welcome” mat is out and I’m finally ready to begin a new chapter in my crazy and always unpredictable life. ~~ Isabella Hey, you surround me, like a blanket in my bed The look in your eyes has stayed inside me In my head Outside it’s snowing It’s odd for this time of year Your light through the darkness Getting smaller Oh I fear Yeah Love love pulled us down in the gutter Can you see us getting out, oh I wonder It’s a long long lonely fight down inside me Can I get you to bring back light Or is this never again? Hey, you’re my weakness Still my lover, in my mind And you still control me Summer I put you so high Oh hey, did you forget You could never get enough Well I’ll always love you No matter how far you run Yeah Love love pulled us down in the gutter Can you see us getting out, oh I wonder It’s a long long lonely fight down inside me Can I get you to bring back light Or is this never again? There is a lover down inside all of our gates that we can’t Protect forever cause he’s sucking at the air from our lips I felt him tremble when I first picked you up driving honey We drove for hours I remember when I first let him kiss You and your mouth the taste of love it filled me up to the tips I couldn’t sleep for weeks So fevered at a hundred and six You surround me like a blanket in my bed Love love pulled us down in the gutter Can you see us getting out, oh I wonder It’s a long long lonely fight down inside me Can I get you to bring back light Or is this never again? Love love pulled us down in the gutter Can you see us getting out, oh I wonder It’s a long long lonely fight down inside me Can I get you to bring back light Or is this never again?
