- A wonderful dinner with my sweetheart at Eden Trattoria Corso Italia while we allowed time for rush hour traffic to clear up before heading home from Toronto yesterday. My Caprese salad was amazing, with baby spinach mixed in with the basil.
- Holding hands.
- A long soak in the tub with drops of lavender and jasmine essential oils.
- My bed
- Waking up in a sunshine-filled room instead of a dark one.
- Having sweet surprises in among the month’s worth of unopened mail, like a thank-you note from a fellow blogger. She included a ticket to the King Tut exhibit that is good through April. This gives me a great excuse for a visit back to the Big Smoke. Thank you, S!
- Receiving a touching email from a friend.
- Having a new issue of Shambhala Sun waiting for me. What a fantastic publication. I eat up every article.
- Cooking my own food in my own kitchen and eating it off a gleaming white IKEA plate while sitting by a window with a view of water. Oh, it is so nice to be home.
- Being able to fit back into some corduroys I bought last year. I think I’ve shed 5 lbs–partly due to the grueling practicum and partly due to my commitment on Melissa’s blog to abstain from elevators and escalators for a month.

Welcome home Kelly !
Enjoy some “unwinding time” now. Sit and look at the water with a warm mug of something in your hands, and don’t drink it until it is nearly cold…
No elevators for one month……… seems like a good idea only the last room I was in was on the 24th floor :-P……….. want to fit in some old clothes also.
The capresi salad sounds lovely, I love that salad.
Can’t believe that your are posting 214 and 215 already, you can be so commited!
Hope you are ok and thanks for popping up on my blog every now and then and leaving such sweet comments!
Have a nice Sunday!
Welcome home, Kelly. Every time you mention your lovely bed I feel an overwhelming urge to nap!
Happy for you to be home in your own bed, with your guy, your plate, food, etc. LOL
Hugs. You deserve it all. What a long hard haul that was on so many levels and how wonderful too.
Go get the job! You will be so so very successful!
You sound so happy, I am glad. Enjoy your time at home.xoxo
glad you are home and ready to rest after your journey. Elevators? Escalators? None of those around here. You know, when I park in the grocery store parking lot I almost always park way far away from the store. I dont like to park squished plus then I have to walk. Good exercise.
