- The Rocky Mountains

- Spacious sidewalks, quiet streets, the Sugarbowl, and my walk home from school

- Our cosy house, waking up and looking out the window at the birds in the trees

- clear, cold, frosty, sunshiney mornings

- farm parties, road trip parties, and having people over to watch Simpsons and eat ice cream

- easy and familiar social interaction

- Whyte Ave, Cafe Mosaics, Black Dog and Backroom

- having quarters with the moose on them in my pocket. (euro currency does not have a 25 cent piece. this=loads of change in your pocket)

- the big sky, cowboys and coyotes howling

- the northern lights

- central gas-fired hot air heating

- birds at our bird-feeder and squirrels in the trees

- pink sunrises over the snow-covered river valley

- wilderness and wildlife

In other news, I have rediscovered my drive. I have also re-realized that psychology is really what I want to do, and I am taking steps to figure out what I need to do in order to get a job in psychology here. I now have the appropriate forms to fill out in order to become a member of the Psychological Society of Ireland, and the forms to get my Canadian degree validated to an Irish equivalent are being sent on their way. Now all I need is some experience and a Master’s degree. sigh! one thing at a time, I guess…
