The days of Idaho are coming to an end. With a constant effort to just be thankful sadness sneaks in. The dark clouds lightly sprinkle sorrow. In this mountainous place my happiness soars. Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir proving neighborly protection as the Payette River sings me a comforting song. This sparsely populated area has felt like home since the first full breath taken.
The love for this land and the people will remain forever. Upon my return I will dance once more.
Now, comes the time to pratiquez mon français...practice my France. Those dark clouds return with thunderous fright. My adjustment to the European-esque city will far exceed my efforts here. One hundred and forty five days after departing la ville du Quebec my feet will walk the cobbled streets and ride the bus once more. Observation of non-verbal cues directing my actions and fill my wordless days. The beauty will once again grip my desire to explore, learn and grow.
Laying my head down at night with the roaring engine from public transportation singing a city lullaby my thoughts will drift to the silent nights of Lowman.

You're moving to Quebec? Hey, you'll only be 5 hours from me.
Sad that you're leaving a place you love though.
What a lovely post. So glad you stopped by my blog, I have really enjoyed reading yours. Especially, your 100 things post! Too many things to mention - I've always wanted a great dane too, and I've never liked that Red Red Wine song either!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! You are welcome to come by anytime:)
Lovely post....I'm sorry you have to leave!
Oh I love Idaho! I went to college there. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope to see you again sometime.
I love this post! I wondered if you were an English major before reading your profile. Beautiful writing!
What an adventurous life you're living right now. I think it's so interesting that you get to experience all these difference places and people.
Wow, Idaho sounds wonderful. Sounds like there is a lot of fresh air there, very much unlike the city, so I can definitely understand why you'd be sad to leave it.
Perhaps you will be able to return soon.
Just wanted to say you're welcome to read my blog! Quebec sounds fun; I'm not sure the story behind it, but I'm all about a little international living. Good luck with it all!
新的生活，新的开始，加油！
I totally understand the feelings you are going through. I moved from Oregon to South Africa and I can remember thinking similar thoughts to yours.
This was a lovely post.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love this post.
Thanks for entering my giveaway! For some reason, the link on your sidebar doesn't work....just so you'll know. I'll still enter you two times, though.
Well I think it sounds fun! I could use some adventure! :)
what a bittersweet time. isn't it funny how someplace that's supposed to be temporary can imprint itself on your heart so easily?
i would love to just sit and talk with you and find out how you ended up doing these things! :) perhaps i'll visit quebec. it's just a hop skip and a jump across the continent from the big ak.
