Fear of Change

Relationships. Fashion. Career. Life.

So many people take the path right in front of them never looking to the sides.

Sport that sassy hat.

Take a dance class.

Try to paint.

Start that book that's trapped in your head.

Kiss that frog...he might end up being your prince.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” -Maria Robinson

I can't wait to hear from you.
Have you made any changes recently?

Today is a gift...enjoy it!

Will Work For Food!

Almost everyday someone is standing on a corner asking for money and I do what I can when I can. 

I am always happy to see this guy and his dog. 

 This has to be the most photographed dog in Quebec City.

 Last weekend they had a crowd gathered around them every time I walked past.

 He just sits there...and smiles. (Well, sort of.) I moved to the side and watched as people

 caught sight of them...the smiles were priceless.

Sadly, I forgot their names...which is really bugging me. I'll ask him again this weekend.

Do you give money to people who are standing on the street?

Same Changes

I just watched Morning Glory. It was cute.....

The music through out the movie was very fitting. I guess that is what I'm trying to say.
  I actually watched until the end to see who sang what.

Here's my favorite....  

The Weepies- Same Changes

Have you heard of The Weebies?  

My Walk Home....

Come on...get your boots on and take a walk with me.  I just finished teaching and I'm looking forward to going home.  Once I get off the bus it only takes me about 10 minutes to walk there.  Are you ready?

 Bundle up it's about 17 degrees outside today and the wind is whipping. 

 Place d'Youville- theaters, music, restaurants and pleasant accommodations

The Palais Montcalm concert hall (below)

 Throughout the winter months the city maintains numerous ice skating rinks for anyone to enjoy. At the Place d'Youville rink, skaters twirl and sway to Quebecois music under twinkling lights. They even provide rental skates for the tourist...of course all the locals have their own. (Wink)   

 18th century walls surround the heart of Quebec City, these walls that protected the original city are now a place where people live and work...like me. 

On another walk I'll show you some of my favorite places to eat and shop.

 We are in a bit of a hurry... it's too cold to stop.

 Quebec City is the only walled city in North America. Within the gates, the original old town (Vieux Quebec or Old Quebec) was established 400 years ago and remains as charming as ever.

 The drab winter day definitely robbed my jaunt of it's allurement.

 Perhaps in the spring we can do this again.

We're here...it was so nice having someone to talk to...in English. 

Thanks for the visit and have a wonderful day.
