Where Are You From?
“Where are you from?” If we’re travelling outside the country, of course the answer is Canada. (It’s fascinating to me that Americans always say the city they’re from if we’re doing some kind of group activity. So sure of their place in the world, never doubting we’ll have heard of it). But, otherwise, I’ve…

Letting the light in
Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything), That’s how the light gets in Leonard Cohen Healthy Mindset – Day 7 & 8 I started this last Sunday with a vague plan to post every day about…

reflection
At this time last year, I was anticipating my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest in northern BC. I had lots of conflicting thoughts – did I make the right decision in choosing this trip to celebrate a momentous birthday? I wanted to do something outside my comfort zone, but at the same time, why…

March is a weird month
March is that weird month when the sidewalks are treacherously icy on the morning walk to work and on the walk home you have to avoid all the puddles and slush. You don’t dare stand or walk on the edge of the sidewalk unless you take pleasure in getting soaked by passing cars. It’s not…

Things I do to distract myself while doing the dishes
I don’t like doing dishes. Tonight, while I was standing in the kitchen doing dishes, I happened to turn around and saw a pretty nice sunset developing outside my living room window. So, I dried my hands, grabbed my cameras (I’m trying out a new one), opened my balcony door (it was about -16 at…

Oh Canada
I’m a big fan of the Olympics and a bit sad that they are pretty much over. I could wait to post this after the Canada-Sweden men’s hockey gold medal game, but regardless if Canada wins or not, I’ve enjoyed watching all the Canadian athletes. My favourite moments were Regina’s own snowboarder, Mark McMorris, winning…

Battleford, SK
A few photos I took on my Christmas vacation…. Now on to one of my favourite months – January! Really, I do like January. Calling it one of my favourite months might be pushing it a bit, but I don’t hate it! (This is a relatively new thing, I used to hate it). Yes, it’s…

Taking A Chance
This is one of my favourite pictures I’ve taken this year… (but it almost didn’t happen)… My birthday this year was a significant one. I wanted to mark the occasion by doing something I’d never done before and by going somewhere I’d never been before. But, once I booked the trip with Ocean Adventures to…

sick day
I have a cold. It’s your regular, run of the mill cold – itchy watery eyes, runny nose, aches, pains and fever and no energy. I’m feeling pretty miserable right now. To make matters worse I can’t sleep because new windows are getting installed on the floor below me so there has been some sawing…

walking in the woods
“I have always found thick woods a little intimidating, for they are so secret and enclosed. You may seem alone but you are not, for there are always eyes watching you. All the wildlife of the woods, the insects, birds, and animals, are well aware of your presence no matter how softly you may tread,…

Summer Spaghettini Salad
I don’t profess to be an expert in the kitchen. I like to cook, I like to experiment, and I like to “jazz” things up. Sometimes my experiments are tasty, sometimes they are not. I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic for nine years (aka juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes) and have to account for everything…

the Scotties
Just for a change of pace from my usual posts, here are my brother and sister-in-law’s dogs, Casey and Finnegan. Names inspired, of course, from the TV show, Mr. Dressup (it ran on the CBC from 1967-1996). I loved summer mornings as a kid, I’d go out outside and play, then run inside for Mr.…
