More ….and Less….

It’s so incredibly easy to fall back into old habits. Truly changing yourself is tough work. I recently

Today’s Gratitude List

I’ve had a long day physically (my back went into spasm first thing today at work) and I’ve been a little testy around the edges. I had to ask for

Dry cold

“But it’s a dry cold they say” which is true. But spending 6+ hours outside in -29 requires the right clothes, a bit of a crazy mindset and a love

Dreaming of Fresh trails

It’s Canada’s sesquicentennial so it’s time to start dreaming and planning. So often we travel to

Fresh Trails — the 365 Type

I’ve always been confused by the birthday saying that says “another trip around the sun starts today”. Really? Don’t we go around the sun daily? Hm. I’m also very

Fresh Trails – Take 3

Literally fresh trails in the snow. Conditions varied from  crusty from the wind to soft in the trees. The dog, of course, made his own trail. There were loads of rabbit and bird tracks. It’s fabulous that the super cold weather has broken.

In my new job title, of which my name is still to be determined (gran, gramma, nan, nana), I will have so much pleasure and joy.

The very first items on that list involve using my

Manifest 2017

The year typically starts with resolutions; which people then forget or struggle to maintain. 

I’ve personally spent the last few years using a focus word. I used balance for two years as I couldn’t find any! Then I switched to moderation as I don’t tend to go half way on anything and always commit big time. 

I was chilling out on a work break the other day and used

 a social media quiz site. Heck it has as much luck of guessing what my year ahead will look like as I do! I’m assuming that it uses key words of posts to pick up traits etc.

So in the end I gave it three whirls. 

Now I ponder 2017 and what kind of aspirations and activities to plan for the year. Perhaps I should be confident in my creativity and that would allow me to prosper? Or I could be confident that I will prosperity and quit my job for creative time. Hm. 

Who saw what 2016 had in store? Not me so while we can plan ahead and make lists we just don’t know. 

I’ll probably skip moderation because sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves and “do it”. I’ll keep my focus on the items below and try to maintain some balance as I approach opportunities. 

• Health
• Family
• Fitness

Just read an article that my ER Doc buddy posted; kind of speaks to the resolutions and how to live a healthy lifestyle. Worth the read — the link is below.
