Monday in Quebec

Hello again!

Two days in a row I know! I thought I’d share a bit of my day yesterday with you. It started off slow no scheduled time to get out and about, which I like, it keeps my anxiety down I had some time to read a book, and play Fable 2 on my brother’s xbox. We had lunch here at the chalet where it was pretty chilly and grey and foggy and damp. After lunch we headed to tour a church called St. Anne de Beaupre. She was the mother of Mary This church is beautiful its so large like a cathedral it had wonderful architecture etc. But what else is significant about it is the crutches on the wall. Many people have gone in there and said prayers to St. Anne and have walked out healed or finding the strength to cope with their conditions. There truly is something spiritual feeling when you walk in there. I said a prayer asking her to pray for help with coping with the anxiety and my IBS. 4 years ago I had been there and said a prayer and although at the time I didn’t really associate it with the church I had started to learn to cope with it and had fairly good control of it until last summer. Maybe there was a reason we went back. For those of you who don’t believe in God or religion that is fine I understand, but if it makes me feel better to believe some higher power is guiding and helping me then what harm does it do?

We came home early and had dinner, we then played some more video games, had a nap and went to bed so it was a pretty easy day. A great way to relax.

I have to tell you that this morning the sun is shining and it is very warm here and the view of the St. Lawerance River is beautiful and clear. We are going to make today a busy day and make a trip through little towns to see museums and arts and cheese factories and such.
