On the Other Hand

How is this week?  Well I am torn.

I will be missing a few weeks of training at the Kwoon and will not be able to make it to the Chinese New Years Banquet.  This is not good and I feel in my soul that I am missing out on something extraordinary.  But on the other hand I am at work doing something cool and also taking care of the household while my wife is experiencing a trip of a lifetime.

I do enjoy when I am at home and taking care of the place when my wife is away.  I have always said to my son's, we can live like bears for a while.  The dogs get a freer roam of the house, meals take on a whole new dimension.  and we drive vehicles around our place where they probably shouldn't go. Oh and lots of target practice with the guns.

I will be gone for  a few days of work but in Alberta, not too much exciting there.  But my wife is experiencing something that few get to do.  First off she is a Dental Assistant by trade and teaches Dental Assisting at NAIT.  Because of this she was invited to participate in an international exchange where she is able to go and teach practical skills in Uganda and Rwanda in Africa.  So far what she has learned is there is a huge gap in skills between Canada and Africa.  She is actually humbled by how very lucky she was to be born in Canada and to receive her training in Canada.

Being able to go and practice your trade in other counties is not something many people get to do.  I miss her deeply but and so proud and happy she is able to have this experience in her life.  Oh and she gets to go on a Safari and to go see the mountain Gorillas.
