Janet's Story

i am a writer so if you want the short version you will have to speed read! after leaving GCVI, i trained in London Ont for 3 years and became a registered nurse, specializing in womens health and obstetrics. i had a life......a good and interesting life and returned to guelph in 1987 to start another life. There was a strong appeal for me to return to guelph(my fave city in the world). I live in the country.....well, it was the country, now it is "south guelph", with my awesome husband of 22 years, Richard, our 5 cats and 2 dogs, in the old hawkins farmhouse on clair road. We are very much into music and host a lot of jams and music gatherings. I have had the wonderful and rather serindipitous opportunity to reconnect with several friends from highschool, in the last few years. We have been delighted to learn that we are somewhat the same and yet very changed and that connecting is energizing and comfortable. When at GCVI, i was quite shy& did not participate in any extra-curricular activities. So, i had my group of very close friends and pretty much lived in that small but happy world. the introvert has morphed into an extrovert, I am quite different today and feel that it would be cool to learn who else is 'back in town' and /or, interested in sharing their journey,their memories, their stories and potentially meeting if we both like that idea. Re...Expand for more
lationships are what i value most and where i invest most of my time. Apart from that i do some lay counselling and support, i dabble with art in the mediums of acrylic, oil , watercolour pencil, textiles,photography most of all. i participate in various facinating womens groups, take lectures at UofG, i read voraciously, go to the gym,walk our dogs, groom our cats, listen to music,entertain a lot lot, love it~~~run a teen girls writing group, sort of blog, love great quotes & discussions ,travel some... and live what i would call a very vibrant,dynamic and blessed life. I walk in mindful gratitude. this can read a little too perfect, and authenticity is another value.....i have wellness challenges and like most of us by now, have had pieces of life that suck, i simply believe that living gratefully and mindfully opens each day to be the best possible, a philosophy which has worked well! This says i have 17251letters left and spell check is going crazy.....but for now, i think this sufficiently introduces the janet of 2014 there do not appear to be many former students of my era on classmates at this time......if you happen to be one, i would be so very happy to hear from YOU and perhaps even seeing YOU at the alumni reunion, which i am hoping to attend with alan gray, valerie eastway, susan palmer, and my sister, pamela wright COME~~~~it will be great!
