I’ve written a few new poems inspired by Autumn in PEI.

Autumn in PEI 

The land is golden

Trees rustle

Leaves falling to the ground

Wind has picked up

Cool wind

Crisp air

Birds in the distance scrounging off the farmers land

The sky is full of blue grey clouds

Pumpkins everywhere on the porches and store fronts 

Scarecrows and Farmers Markets 

Open Signs

Small town O’Leary 

Charming little town!

-Maria Medeiros

Autumn in PEI

It’s harvest time 

The potatoes are tumbling into the trucks

The sun shines between the branches 

Leaves turn orange, red and gold

Silhouettes and shadows appear on the ground

Leaves slowly falling

Local markets selling orange pumpkins, mums and corn

The air perfumed by earthy leaves

Crisp breeze

Hot cocoa and some pumpkin pie please!

-Maria Medeiros

Moving...

It feels like a dream! Time went by so fast. We packed up and moved out of the busy city to a small town in PEI. Selling the house was stressful and finding a house even more stressful. Moving has been a whirl-wind of emotions. It’s very emotional to leave familiar surroundings, it's very hard to leave family and friends. We miss everyone so much.

I’m not going to miss the Toronto traffic and overpopulated areas. I’m not going to miss the consistent city noise. The noise pollution was very intense and it was causing many problems to my mental health. Traffic, noise pollution, air pollution, crime, hustle and bustle…not going to miss you! 

Driving over the confederation bridge was breathtaking! It is beautiful here. It takes time to adjust and to get use to a new lifestyle and pace of life. Things move slower here and traffic is less. Local food is amazing. I was worried the first week with the changes but I’m slowly embracing everything. There is beauty all around us here. Farm land, ocean, lighthouses, windmill farms and more. The locals are super nice and friendly. Everyone knows everyone by their name. 

I love the house that we moved into. We are still opening up boxes and are putting things in place. We definitely look forward to personalizing the house to fit our style but overall I am so grateful for the home. 

I was worried how my girls would adjust to new schools and so far things are great. The PEI schools are great. They provide food programs and even pay for student’s school supplies. 

Since we’ve been here we have visited the West Point Lighthouse beach, the potato museum which has amazing food, especially the blueberry bread pudding! So so good! We’ve visited Summerside and Charlottetown. There’s so much to see and do here. The summer attractions are now closed but I am sure there is so much more to do in the Fall. I can’t wait! 

Thank you all for reading my blog post today, I appreciate it. I hope you are all well my friends. 

Much love and positivity!

Faith Hope Love

It’s been a long, emotional and challenging year of treatments. After completing surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and 18 rounds of Herceptin, I am finally finished. I only have five years of hormone therapy to do and the side effects are very stressful and annoying but I’m going to try and figure out ways to minimize them. 

It has been so hard. So difficult. Very emotional and a challenging year. I feel I don’t even know how to function without thinking about infusions and results and appointments. I only have follow up appointments and yearly check-ups. Sometimes I stop and think what just happened? 

I am so grateful that I’m here and I’m trying to appreciate each moment without drowning in the emotions that I dwelled in the past year. It’s hard to move forward, but with faith in God and focus on love and family my heart ♥️ is full and hope is here.

 Hope and positivity for the future. One day at a time. 

Thank you all for being here for me and being a part of my journey. 

Thank you from my heart,

Love ❤️ always Maria
