I’m glad to report that my fog has now cleared, if you’ve read my last post…
Yes, I’m back! 
Ça fait vraiment du bien de me sentir moi-même à nouveau, solide et fière.
I like to think that life always sends me what I need, whether it’s a gift or a kick in the face. I got my share of gifts, but so many kicks in the face I can’t count them anymore! Mais vous savez, rien de ce qui est aujourd’hui ne serait si ce n’était de ces coups durs.
I think that nothing is free. Surtout les bonnes choses de la vie. Et je crois sincèrement (sans souhaiter de mal à personne) que les gens qui ont passé une vie généralement paisible ne sont que des caractères en attente d’être formés par le cours des choses.
Bref, tout ça pour dire que je crois que j’ai peut-être payé assez cher cette année pour que l’univers me récompense, me réconforte avec quelques cadeaux.
That famous line from The Alchimist: …the universe conspires…
I needed 3 things: A place to live in Montreal – A way to break my lease in Sherbrooke – A new job or (preferably) a job transfer from my current employer.
They came in exactly that order. The finale was grand… I had tears of joy rolling down my cheeks when my boss told me that my transfer had been granted (after being initially refused… and a few months of job searching)
I never knew one could fall in love with a city so much. C’est ce que j’ai découvert avec Montréal. Même assise bêtement dans un embouteillage, je souris juste parce que je suis assise dans un embouteillage… à Montréal. En plus du fait que les voyages constants entre Sherbrooke et Montréal commençaient sérieusement à peser (tant au niveau financier qu’au niveau de toute cette éngergie et ce temps perdus)… I was now up to 900km weekly! Now that I look back on it, it seems so crazy. But when you are in it, you come to accept it. And you try to make the most of it. So I cherished every second I would spend in the big city. And tried not to resent going home so much by thinking about my family there, endlessly hoping they get to see me once in a while. It worked. For almost a year and a half. I’m not quite done with that since I’m not transferring just just yet… but just the thought that it’s soon to be over is enough to make me cry. So I’m now eager instead of impatient. And I smile as I pack my boxes. You know, one of those big dumb smiles you sometimes get when caught daydreaming?
In any case, 2012 is the beginning of yet another life. Maybe I’m like a cat… One could argue that they are chapters instead… But most of them are so distant from one another that you would really think it’s a completely different book. 2012 will be my 10 year wedding anniversary (well… would be, if I were still married!) That’s what I mean by totally different lives!
I feel at home on that island, there is nothing more powerful than that. I am drawn to it. Simple. Good. So, making that dream come true makes me feel like a kid who just found out she’s going to Disney Land. (or so I’m assuming since I’ve never been!)
I have to write another little something. Dans la catégorie essais-erreurs… Je vous ai parlé des mauvais acteurs dans mon film la dernière fois. Je ne sais pas si c’est un autre symptôme de ce fameux brouillard… mais je crois que nous avons failli gaspiller beaucoup de bonheur. C’est long à expliquer et comme vous savez, je me garde toujours un petit peu de privé en décrivant les choses sur ce blog. So I won’t get into the details, but I will say that we are trying out for another movie instead of changing the actors. I think the script was wrong perhaps… And this new movie seems much more suited for us. Let us see what happens. Right now, we are shooting multiple scenes of happiness.
Luv
