disobeying the signs - moncton, new brunswick - february 14th, 2009
There we were, as usual, not listening to what those with less ignorance had told us. Looking at this picture now, six months later, I realize that it’s who I am: a person who disobeys. Why shouldn’t we? Who gets rewarded for colouring inside the lines passed the age of five?
There are times in our lives when we can feel defeated, exhausted and hopeless. It’s these times, that I turn to my past to invigorate the future I know is before me. I have two provinces left on my mission to see every one of this beautiful country (the territories will be added one day when I can properly afford it) and a part of me can’t believe it. I know the Maritimes must be visited once again in the summer months, and I’ll do that and tick off Newfoundland to the last of my east coast journeys as well.
For now, however, I can remember what an amazing time, what an amazing country we live in, and smirk at the memories of people warning me to get out of my trip plans before it was too late: “winter in the Maritimes?! Are you crazy?”
I guess we were.
