Relationships come and go, kids grow up, parents die, pets the same. You dress for a sunny day's ride and bingo, it rains. You go to one of your favorite regular eating establishments, and it's closed up.
No one likes it, everybody experiences it.
Sometimes we can control it, many times not.
Such a change is taking place right now.
I have lived in this home for 17 years, longer than anywhere else in my life. I myself have experienced many changes over that time period, and what I get from each and everyone of them is knowledge, faith, and growth. Sure there is pain involved but I have always maintained that you wouldn't know the joy of the good times, if you didn't have the bad to compare to.
The French say "ces't le vie" such is life. And... such is life.This week began with change... B.C. niece Cindy, dropped in for a short overnight, to visit her uncle Frank... and load up my Baja Veteran Yamaha XT 225 Serow.
This little bike has seen the badlands of Southern Alberta, the fire roads of British Columbia, the Southwest desert of California and Arizona and the mountains of Baja. She's been over the Elk pass separating two province's, ridden the KVR, crawled over rock ledges in the Sierra Giganta range, and served as a useful mount for running to Canadian Tire to pick up some glue.
Since Friday... she has already transported Cindy, not just along some back trail... but from a place where she was, to where she will be going.
For Uncle Frank... the journey continues, my house is officially listed, there are potential buyers coming today, and soon we too, shall move on.
Ces't le vie...
