7.1 – Canada Day, the whole Canada is celebrating its National Day, except for Quebec.
7.1 – Moving Day, the whole Quebec is celebrating not having to celebrate Canada Day, except for the rest of Canada.
“We’re busying moving, so we don’t have time to celebrate.” What a wonderful excuse the independence-seeking Quebecois made up to ignore the federation! But regardless, moving cannot be described merely as “busy”, it’s stressful, frustrating, hectic, exhaustive…
I still remember very clearly the night before I left Chicago, my good friend came over to help me finish packing, and I ended up sitting on the floor, totally exhausted, watching my friend packing for me. And I don’t want to remember how many times I moved during the past few years.
This morning, I was waken up at 5:30 by a neighbor, who obviously wanted to be a moving day early bird. And later during the day, the streets were full of cars, vans, trucks packed with suitcases and furniture.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, some friends are moving too. I realized, no matter we’re sad or happy or stressed out about our moving, we’re not alone.
Life needs to be moved on, and moving helps us move on in life. Especially when we’re still young, it’s the best time for us to experience, to search for the right path, or a perfect place to live, if there is one for us.
Happy Moving Day!
