\"\"In the truths that we learned
\nOr the times that we cried
\nIn the bridges we burned
\nOr the way that we died?

\nHow much can change\u2026in a year.<\/p>\n

A year ago this week Amras and I were in Rio, climbing Sugar Loaf Mountain, and taking in the insanity of colour that is Carnival. A few weeks before that we were watching tango in Buenos Aires, during one of the best weekends in my recent memory (really, a girl could get spoiled with Valentine\u2019s Days like that), a few weeks after we were in the Amazon, cuddling baby sloths and staring in awe and giant water lilies.<\/p>\n

And everything seemed so safe and secure and what was happening in the rest of the world was still so very far away; a ghost at our heels, not really touching us. Or perhaps we just weren\u2019t acknowledging its shadow looming ever closer. No one knew what was going to happen next.<\/p>\n

Then\u2026word started trickling in that things were changing out there. Things were getting weird. Things were getting scary.<\/p>\n

Then one day in March we were in Barbados, trying to snatch one last moment of sanity before everything inevitably exploded when\u2026everything did.<\/p>\n

And oh how our world turned upside down.<\/p>\n

Canada closed it’s borders. The cruise lines shut down and the whole world turned it’s back on us. Leaving us lost and drifting for…well for a very long time.<\/p>\n

And then they finally got us home, and we could breathe easy. We were at least safe, secure and not floating anymore…<\/p>\n

And then…well…<\/p>\n

We were supposed to be back by Halloween, then Christmas, then\u2026spring\u2026then\u2026well now we don\u2019t know. There is so much we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

And right now, I\u2019m just sitting with that a little. Even though for the most part we\u2019re doing pretty well. Much much better than we could be all things considered but still..<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t ever expect it to be\u2026525,600 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
