Dorothy.



This picture is of the grain elevator in Dorothy, AB which I took this summer whilst on an adventure. I have always thought that grain elevators must be lonely. For the longest time they were the tallest thing on the prairies - towering above almost everything else. A landmark, a statement and a testament to the will of the people and industry.

I know that this is yet another emo blog entry in a string of emo blogs (well, let's be serious, my last entry was July!), but I gots to write how I feel and right now, I feel pretty darn emotional. I just finished clinical and can now claim that I have been with babes within hours of the start of their life and with adults within hours of the end of theirs. I have always felt that I had an old soul, but it seems it is possible that my soul has aged even further. I feel enriched, but I also feel I gave a part of myself away - and I am all right with that. I was supposed too.

Just a lot to think about, and think I shall while I am knitting. For the third year in a row I am starting a scarf for my beloved. Hopefully this year I will finally finish, I feel more confident now that I have figured out the secret of keeping the edges from curling (thanks Grandma!).

With that final thought, I tip my hand to the world and say good night, fare thee well and I will greet you with a smile in the morning.
