Welcome to Winnipeg, Manitoba!

Following my wonderful interview with Sandy in which I learned more about marriage than I could possibly fit into the last two blog posts, it was time to leave beautiful San Diego, Calfornia and head north to Winnpeg, Canada.

If you didn’t get a chance to read some of the wisdom from Sandy, a happy wife of 53 years, definitely check it out. Her first piece of advice (paraphrased): Make marriage your Plan A and have no Plan b; it distracts from Plan A was a reminder to us all of what is most important in life. And another great bit of advice: Let no one come between you helped us put our priorities in perspective.

I have already learned so much on my trip around the world…and I’ve not even left North America yet! Yesterday, I sat down with a lovely lady, Darlene, who was unbelievably transparent, honest and shared she and husband’s road map to a happy marriage after an affair (hers, not his). I can’t wait to share a few things I learned from her in my blog post tomorrow.

But for today, I wanted you to see some of the pictures I’ve snapped here in Winnipeg. And I also want to leave you with one last piece of advice from Sandy (scroll down to below the pics for that). Enjoy!

Sign as I was walking from the airport (where my hotel was located) to Waterfront Street. I told the hotel I wanted to walk instead of taking a taxi (free exercise). I walked over 25K roundtrip – whew!

Bus stops in Winnipeg are so clean even I thought about just sitting down in one

The grounds surrounding the legislative building are gorgeous; well manicured

All around the world the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is being celebrated. Including in Winnipeg

Winnipeg’s beautiful waterfront. It’s so beautiful I didn’t even mind the water was brown

My first beef bourguignon. I’ve been wanted to try this since the movie Julie & Julia

The sun didn’t go down until after 10pm each night. Then it popped back up first thing in the morning

There was one other piece of advice Sandy shared that I had to share with you: “Don’t invite negative thoughts to dinner or they will eventually get fat.” Such wisdom! When negative thoughts cross our mind, we must let them pass through. Don’t entertain them. Don’t feed them. Let them grab some water and be on their way. Keep your mind and thoughts positive and your life will follow suit.
