I am really enjoying Chapel and the Cathedral so far this year. I finally feel like I’m being supported, not pushed or looked over or taken for granted… it’s a nice change. I also feel calm again, in a way that I haven’t really felt since my first year at King’s. It’s not the same calm (times do change and so have I) but it’s peaceful nonetheless.
The ball Thursday night was a lot of fun. I love to get dressed up. Oh, and for the first time ever at a Dal ball, the food was worthy of seconds. Mmm… food. Micah looked fantastic in his kilt. You know, I think I would be one happy woman if more men wore kilts… or cassocks… but that’s a very different sort of happy.
This is the first year that I did not attend a Remembrance Day service ever. I remember going as a very young child, and I know how important it is to my family. In some ways, I feel like I got more out of the remembrance service last Sunday than I did last year in the Grand Parade. It’s not that the parades aren’t important, but something has changed in me over the last year… I feel so … well… at a loss for words right now about that. In some ways I guess it’s the celebration of peace as opposed to commemorating war that is important. It’s also knowing that war doesn’t necessarily lead to peace, that they are two very different things. I’m still working this out… …
