Nova Scotia Part One
I'm just back from a few days in Nova Scotia. Went with a good friend to visit with her parents. On the surface, we scrapbooked, shopped, shared recipes, and had a great time. On another level, I'm told I served well as a buffer for a sometimes strained family relationship. It had potential to be awkward, but it actually went quite well. Oddly enough, I found it a privilege to be invited into the dysfunctional realm of a friend's life. I enjoy being trusted with vulnerability. Am I a sadist? I don't think so. I just really enjoy getting to know someone on a level where things don't have to be polite and perfect but the relationship is a safe haven and authenticity prevails. Kinda sappy, I know.So that was this week's road trip. Next week I've got the princess of the household (see previous post) to myself and I think we'll do another girls getaway to NS and visit Gram. That will be a good time.
