Susana & Ocean

Oh how I love thee (the ocean that is). So, last week we were at Camp Malagash on the North Shore of Nova Scotia. I spent so much time on the beach that I got this horrible cold that keeps me awake at night and that just won't go away. Christy loved warm, lush and beautiful Vancouver, but I love cold, dreary and rugged Nova Scotia. Perhaps I loved and found more beautiful my week at Malagash because there was less stress than in Vancouver. So, I spent the week on the beach, enjoying all the beautiful pictures God was painting everywhere. I did not get the rest I need and so my moods changed with the weather and the wind. I would be on a high because it would be sunny and everything was fun, and the next moment a cloud came in and I was so exhausted and ready to crash and yell to the world "Fine, you win!". I have no idea what I thought the world had againt's me. It was an emotional roller-coaster. My heart would want to break at the slightest thing. Over a piece of Seaglass I found because it was so beautiful, or over a vulnerable look I saw on someone's face.. Anyway, I guess this sarcastic and insensitive Manitoban is slowly going soft. But it is true that when God blesses us abundantly, you begin to take responsibility for the blessings around you and things can get uncomfortable or real. But I know it is always for my good, so I must just deal. Anyway, it was sunny everyday, people had a great time. I got to spend as much time as I wanted with the Abarbanel Clan (major highlight) and one afternoon, I went Clam digging with Jenna, Ruth and Zoe. This was the most fun thing ever. I had never dug clams before. And clams are so cool and disgusting. You too should try it if you have the chance. We did not eat the clams but properly left them in the ocean to live a happy life after we had named them. It was really fun.
