Somewhere between Martin Sheen... Lady Gaga... and texting with Henkell....

Last night I took a pilgrimage...
It was unexpected...
Totally out of the blue....
But there it was...
This long trek....
From the comfort of my own couch....
To start... let me set the mood....
You see today is moving day....
I am taking all my personal possessions and carting them 30 minute across town...
As my joke goes....
to be 30 minutes closer to Canmore...
Anyone who knows me...
or has seem my little nugget of goodness in the river valley...
knows...
This move is a little bitter sweet...
I have come to really love this condo...
We have bonded over bruised knee's....
midnight run's...
Broken hearts...
And beautiful nights....
I'm sure if these wall's could talk they would have some amazingly funny moments to share...
They put up with my morning dancing...
My late night giggles at myself...
My diet schemes...
My "sufferfest moments".....
The nights I have just one to many glasses of wine and get a little nutty all by myself...
Yes if these walls could talk...
So....
In true Lisa form..
I decided to celebrate my last night with my personal possessions in my little haven....
I popped the cork on a bottle of Henkell and cozied up on the couch to bond with Netflix...
And that is where I found my pilgrimage...
It was not even a good movie...
The acting was mediocre....
There was no real story line...
Just once mans quest to get from point A to point B...
And the people he met along the way...
And somewhere in these 2 hours and 12 minutes of trekking...
I realized...
I need to do this quest....
So foolishly...
After a bottle of bubbly and 2 hours of dreaming about this trek...
I texted a friend and tried to convince him to join me....
Mostly because his vacation time works with mine....
but also because I know my parents would not support me trekking 800K in Spain all by myself...
After a few confusing texts....to which I'm certain my friend thinks I'm a total nut job....
The movie ended...
and I headed to bed...
Where I continued  my quest through the night....
And this morning...
I woke...
With a new clarity....
A funny one to be honest...
Maybe it was the bubbly...
Or the fact I spent 3 nights in a row in my own bed instead of an air mattress....
But I've come to realize some fantastic things about myself....
And where I'm headed....
Foolishly...
I recently thought I should re-enter the dating scene....
I've been lonely for that one person to enjoy my adventures with...
To call at night when I'm stressed...
To laugh with...
Argue with...
And love....
but last night...
There it was...
As I slept a peaceful....
Bubbly encouraged sleep....
I have an amazing life...
I have some amazing friends...
This journey I am on is not alone...
I have so many people sharing it....
Laughing with me...
challenging me...
teaching me...
Loving me....
It doesn't matter if I go to Spain... (although I am seriously going to try and talk my friend into this!!)
I have the most amazing adventure greeting me every day....
With some of the most amazing..
Crazy...
Good Hearted...
genuine people life could ever throw my way....
Yep...
All I have to do is take a look at my face book photos to be reminded...
I have a cool life...
I am blessed...
And I have done this by myself...
For me....
Yep...
Martin Sheen....
Henkell....
and a Morning of Dancing with Lady Gaga have proven to me...
My life is awesome...
