Spring is in the Air!


OK, so it snowed and blowed up a near blizzard in Calgary yesterday, and it’s below freezing again this morning, but I still feel optimistic that spring is finally at hand. Maybe it’s the fact that we are blessed with a lot of sunny days here, albeit chilly ones of late. Perhaps it’s the longer days or simply that Easter has passed and April is well under way. Regardless of the reason, I have lots to look forward to.

For one thing, we’re just 3 weeks away from heading to Puerto Vallarta for an extended visit. We’ve booked a lovely condo on the hillside overlooking Banderas Bay and for a soul-satisfying five weeks it will be our home away from home in the tropics. We’ve even been polishing up our Spanish, thanks to the fine folks at Rosetta Stone. It should be a wonderful month plus and a great way to kick off summer time.

I’m also feeling a lot healthier this spring. A combination of better diet, some more exercise and probably just a generally less stressed life has left me with a sense of renewed energy and determination to enjoy life and my place in the world. I’ve got a couple volunteer opportunities cooking too, so that should be rewarding once everything comes together.

So while it lasts, I hope to soak up the sun and seize each day along the way. I hope that those of you who follow my blog will do the same. As George Harrison so wonderfully sang, “Here Comes The Sun!”
