How do these things go?

So I started this blog up a year ago give or take a few months. I was temping at the god-forsaken travel-agency, you know, the one that got me sickeningly addicted to facebook? And out of sheer boredom, I decided I too should have a "blog". Well I signed up, named my blog, and voila! Here it sits a year later with not a post to it's name.

Now don't get me wrong. It's not that I think blogs are silly, by any means. On the contrary, I spent that afternoon fretting, feeling like I needed a theme. How about fashion? No, too many of those, besides, the people who write fashion blogs generally know what they're talking about. Food? I do love food, but a culinary adventure would be in order, and funds don't always hold out. It only just occurred to me the other day, that I really do not need a theme to go on.

So here I go. Joining the masses and starting a blog about nothing in particular. This may help me hone my writing skills, something I have always wanted to be a little bit better at.

At my desk at this particular oil and gas company, I have the most amazing view. Mind you today, not so amazing. Under normal circumstances though, on a typical sunny Calgarian day, you can see the arch of a Chinook hoovering over top of the Rocky Mountains. It's magnificent. Trees dot the flat city landscape and the sky is that true blue you can only find in such desolate wastelands as the prairies. I tend get a little nostalgic when I take the time to pry my eyes away from the computer screen and really see. See where I live, where I reside. It's amazing. I then start to think about how lucky I am. What a privileged little white girl I am. How I live in such a beautiful privileged country. Then the nostalgia subsides. I realize that it doesn't matter how perfect it seems, I am desperately unhappy here. I have been back in this city for just over a year now. It feels like a lot longer. Like, 3 years longer. I wonder if Ill be happy in one place, like, ever. It occurred to me when I restarted this blog, that "Wherever you go, there you are" may have been a more suitable title.
