Shhhhh

15:43:50
.. Back to writing my book.
When i went up for a walk today, i just went to the Rock up the hill as it was too windy today to do the upper diamond hill.




17:59:20

Having a busy day of facebooking, creating a new facebook group for the Old Monestery Hostel. .. So thats neet. Look forward to seeing some familar faces there.



Today i realized that I have been here for 40 days and 40 nights. Nice.

I'm really glad that I found this place, and that I have gotten so much work done while im here.



On friday, I need to leave here, as I am a traveler, and must move on. I have my ind set on making the AcrossCanadaTrails GPS Map, and making it a great resource for those to travel.



(Which reminds me, I must update the GPS Map file with the latest update on what the trails look like, as now it's much better. .. So people can download the file and try and navigate some of the route segments with it. ... I is would be a great test to see just how accurate it is.



Note: This journal is written live, and posted as is. ... I also have my personal journal, however the contents in it are time sensensitive, so it's best no to share untill later on, perhaps a few months down the road. As it contains personal thoughts and feelings, which if responded to here, doesnt help much.



...

Subnote: This journal is also written as how my mind works. .. Its rather scatter brained, as i have many windows right now open, along with many projects going on at once. ... Sometimes when i get an idea, then i write about it as it happens... As I seem to have an abstract mind. ... and for those of you who have read my journals before ... you already know that.

...



So when I was up on the hill, it was rather windy. ... But was actually wonderful. ... Wonderful to see the ocean out on the horizion past the bay and mountin (hill) :) .. I can look out there, and know that Newfoundland & Labrador is way out there in a streight line. I see how powerful with wind is blowing over the bog lands and rocks. .. and i see the little houses dotting the landscape close to the coast.



I think about how the past is imbedded into the fabric of the land. .... actually i'll wright about that in my other journal, and add it later.



...

Looking at the present, it's a gift. You wake up each morning and can decide what you want todo with your life. Each day is special and memporable. The people who you see today, you might never see again. .. The world is so big. People come from all over the world, and are traveling. .. They bring with them their own set of experiences and ambitions for the future. So each time you interact with someone today, you can realize that they have just as an exciting past. .. So no matter where they are from in the world, you can find exciting people. ...

So you need to cherish that time you have with that interaction.



... Does it make sence to have a negative interaction? ... For me, when i have a negative interaction with someone, i feel that my che is off. That it's out of balance. That i kindof feel guilty that someone what put off for what was said... Eithor myself, or the other person. As like i said above, that you never know when you will see or hear from that person again.



This past month and a half ive been talking to tonnes of people. .. I did put people on facebook. Actually, knowone whome i have met, do i express interest in that. As here, it's a Hostel, where you meet many many people all the times your traveling around. And you can learn from so many different people about their views on subjects varing by the number of people.



So were able to discusses topics, .. but actually mostly its around cultural differences, and places. .. As everyone is from somewhere else, and has their own ideas.



So for the one i met who was from Winnipeg, I thank them. .. I dont know if i'll ever meet you again. I am terrable with names. .. .Hey, perhaps with this facebook group, people can connect?

I dont know, will see. ..



Well see, I always didnt like that saying, as it's not specific, to any time frame. I like dates times and places, and specifics to look at. ... Vague ideas for me doesnt make sence. .

Even my plan for the future. ... (Actually, I still need to write that down) is very specifac..



Here's a quick low down of thelatest.



January, hopefully i'll have a work for stay with the hostel in Nanaimo, BC and be going across canada, by vehicle. .. Or I could fly. .. not sure yet. .. options are open.

I want to work with the tourism board, as I see myself as being very knowledgable about the trails and places to see and stay in the area, and along th way, all across canada. .. And know how to find out, as im excited to keep on learning new places of interest that the tourists themselves tell me about.



Because im making this cross canada trails map, i'm incuding my database of all the places on interest. .. The main things.

Perhaps what i'll have is my file looking at it on google earth, as it's available.



So what would be great is after Nanaimo, while working there, and perhaps the tourist office there.
