Good Morning Vancouver!It's a new year, a new decade with new hopes!
Sluggish from the New Year's Eve celebrations, I nurse my cup of tea. Hopes, dreams and gleeful anticipations for 2010 emerge from the fog that hovers as a remnant from the late night festivities. There's a writing course to do, French to master, a trip to visit family in South Africa and a holiday in France to enjoy. Somewhere, this year, a little fear slips in uninvited. I take a deep breath - yes, I'm looking forward to resuming my yoga class.
On January 1st, I like to take stock of life and recalibrate. I snuggle into my chair, feel the warmth from the fireplace on my legs, sip my tea and look across the water to Vancouver.
Let's not forget the Winter Olympics which will overrun our city next month. We are looking forward to taking it all in. We won't get any skiing in ourselves but we hope to snow-shoe at least once this winter.
I mull this over.
My new year resolutions are aptly summed up in a Swedish proverb:
Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours.
