Watching the sunset at Second Beach in Stanley Park

Last night (thanks, in no small part to my not-so-good ability to pinpoint a meeting location for the Vancouver Blogger Meetup) our meetup was rather small (but it felt so right, at the same time!). Erika Rathje, Jan Karlsbjerg and I showed up (and as he usually does, my friend Jan has a summary of what we talked about at the August 2010 Vancouver Blogger Meetup).

As we were splitting and I was leaving, I received a call from Minna telling me that Ganesh, Jay and her were meeting me at Second Beach, so I waited a few minutes. We played in the swings for a little bit and then watched the sunset and walked back towards the office. It’s probably been one of the most relaxing evenings I had since I went to Parksville and Qualicum Beach with my Mom.

Sometimes, in the whirlwind of life I have, I realize how easy it is to forget that I live a pretty privileged life. I’m glad spending yesterday evening with good friends gave me an opportunity to remind myself of how lucky I am.
