The hand hunt

I had to work again today. Afterwards, I went to James Bay to check out an apartment. On the way there, I finally found the first statue of a hand - there are supposed to be several ones all over Downtown Victoria. My former roommate Rachel here in Victoria had told me about them, but they were a lot harder to find than I had expected.
The apartment was nice enough but I'd like to find another job before deciding on a place to live. On the way back to the hostel I found two more statues of hands.

I made some salad with cucumber, tomatoes, tuna and feta for dinner. After that, I still sat a while in the cafe area with some other hostel guests. Leon from Germany, who had been working with me today, was playing the guitar for all of us and it sounded really good.

The last song he played before we were thrown out of the cafe due to the quiet hours was 'It's a good life' by Rae Garvey with really inspiring lyrics.

"You hang your head in misery

Your eyes say that you're no longer free

I know you hide behind those clouds of despair

I'm just someone who came to show he cares

Come on wake up don't be afraid

We can find what you lost on your way

Come on wake up there's no shame

In being too weak to fight the pain

It's a good life even when hope is forsaken

Even when your heart is breaking

Never forget it's worth saving

Never forget it's a good life

Seeing the sun on the tree line

Feeling the breeze on a warm night

Holding your hand of love

Happiness is not made of gold

It's made of memories only you and I hold

If you can hear me then answer the call

I'll just sit here till you're strong enough to talk

Come on wake up don't be afraid

We can find what you lost on your way

Come on wake up don't slip away

You were once the one who helped me find my way to the good life

Even when hope is forsaken

Even when your heart is breaking

Never forget it's worth saving

Never forget it's a good life

Seeing the sun on the tree line

Feeling the breeze on a warm night

Holding your hand of love

Never forget it's a good life

I know you can turn it around

Just make for the break in the clouds

I'll wait for you there

You know it's a good life

Even when hope is forsaken

Even when your heart is breaking

Never forget what is saving

Never forget it's a good life

Seeing the sun on the tree line

Feeling the breeze on a warm night

Holding your hand in love

Come on wake up don't be afraid

We can find what you lost on your way"
