Listen to the Simple Things

I just found out that my cousin will be coming from out of province to visit me this summer. I haven't seen Sonia, who happens to be one of my most favourite people in over two years. So right away, I started a list. Where will I take her, what will we do? After I had jotted down several things I realized something...everything was simple.

The list included my favourite walk around the reservoir; the local tiny, cramped bookstore within walking distance from my front door; a great hike right in the city; a place with the best view and the best coffee. Things that touch my heart and hopefully will touch hers too. Day to day things that put a smile on our faces, regardless of whatever else is going on. How fortunate are we to have these things and how often do we miss them?

I will share these simple things with someone who is so special to me. It will be my gift to her.

Go to Yoga - check

Finally did it! Have always wanted to take Yoga, and now I am officially "practising" it. Not a foreign concept to me, the philosophy part of it comes naturally. Have always been kind of a meditation fool, but we'll see what my body thinks about it tomorrow...hope to strengthen, tone and relax. Oh, it was hard to leave at the end of the class. When was the last time YOU got to be still?

Start a Blog - check

So here I am on my first ever blog entry (is that what you call it?). Oh well, I will learn no doubt. A new adventure for me, and it's only the 4th of January.

Never at a loss for opinions, well goodgrief I am the expert of Me! am I not? I plan to talk about all kinds of Magic - magic that comes in photos I've snapped, books I've read, words I've been witness to and words I've put together in some kind of magical, poof! sort of way. And when you get to know me - I will even share about being single at 50+ and what its helped me discover about myself.

Cheers for today, but come back OK?
