One of the reasons I haven’t blogged here in a while is that I was on vacation for two weeks at the end of February. I was in Vancouver watching the Winter Olympics! It was a spectacular time to be in Vancouver, even more so than normal. People were feeling very patriotic and were wooing and cheering all the time. Impromptu O Canada’s were sung at amusing times, like during curling matches or waiting in line at security to get into an event. We Canadians are a patriotic bunch, just as patriotic as Americans, however we’re not normally as vocal about it as they are. We just put on a Canada flag pin or sew a flag on our backpacks as we wander the world, we don’t normally wear a Canada tshirt under a Canada hoodie with a Canada scarf around our necks and Canada mittens while cheering “Go Canada Go!” But we did, and we liked it. We really liked it!
Now that I’m all rested up and my voice has recovered from the two weeks of cheering, I’m going to buckle down and get back to the freelancing attempts. Yes, famous last words, but I’m really going to try harder. As I mentioned before, I signed up for the first course in an Editing certificate, and I’m going to start devoting more time to getting things off the ground. Honest.
