I was out for a drive on my own yesterday and put on a carpool karaoke-style playlist of songs that I love to rock out to. As I hit the road, I hit play and the first song that came on was Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Perfection for setting the tone of my drive: up-tempo, rocking and, above all, fun. What would be up next on my randomly shuffled playlist?
Song number two: Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

There’s a quote that I’ve often thought of over the past two years as we’ve lived with COVID-19. It’s popped up repeatedly in my life, both via my spiritual guru, Francois Lemay and, more recently, while my wife and I were watching a sitcom.

Last week, my wife and I took off on a short little getaway vacation to Toronto. Although only a three-night stay, the fact of traveling to another city, in another province, did a lot of good for both of us.

One week ago today, Isabelle and I headed off for a nice little weekend getaway. Our Reiki association was having a meeting on Saturday afternoon in Grand Falls, which is about 4 hours away. We opted to make a weekend of it and booked a hotel in Fredericton, the halfway point between the two. As luck would have it though, the highway between Moncton and Fredericton flooded the week we were leaving, meaning we had to make a bit of a detour, adding an hour on the first and last legs of our drive. But we didn’t mind at all! Because all we had ahead of us was a weekend of good eating, relaxation and fun.
