This past weekend we spent celebrating with Blaise's mothers family the Gillis's. It was a wonderful time with lots of fun, family and fun. Almost 100 people attended. We were out on the Mira all weekend and the weather was amazing. Such a great reminder to live in the moment and not take anything for granted as well. We opened a 10 year time capsule yesterday. Lots of tears flowed remembering family members that were not longer present in body but definitely present in spirit and soul.
Seeing all the "kids" that have grown up and how much things have changed in 10 years. We are putting together our contribution to the time capsule that will be opened in 10 years. Not sure what we will put in but thinking of doing a letter to "our family " or a love letter to each other.
It was lovely to get up early and meditate on the dock on the Mira and do my yoga routine. The land that Joe and Jacquie live on was MacEachern and Nanny Macneil's fmaily land. I certainly felt the presence on my " family " and Nanny Macneil on this property. Very peaceful and relaxing, no wonder the Scottish settlers liked the Mira River.
Now on to the next phase of my three weeks, off to Cranbrook in the morning for the final First Nations advisory commitee meeting. Next Friday Nanny's 90th and more family memories to be made
