Now that we have changed to Daylight Savings time it seems that Spring received the message and is slowly making its appearance, at least in the Lower Mainland (all bets are off east of here)!
With Spring comes the promise of light, growth and rebirth.
I crave natural light; the dark days of November and December make me crazy.
This year I did two things to mitigate the constant darkness. We bought a light box that we have sitting on our kitchen table. Each morning when we drink our coffee and glance at the newspapers we turn it on and hope that some ultraviolent light penetrates into our eyes. Unfortunately I don’t sit for the recommended 30 minutes so who knows what good it is doing.
My second strategy was to go to San Diego for 4 days in early December for the express purpose of seeing the sun. The temperatures hovered to 20 C during the day and we had glorious sun for most of the 4 days (we arrived the evening of the biggest rain storm of the year, but it was mostly over by the time we got there). Our excursions included hikes, walks along the beach, sightings of seals and sea lions and a day at the famous zoo.
This picture, of a cactus plant with the red fruit on top, is my favourite from the trip. Those fruit are called either prickly pear or tuna.
This Spring I have a lot of personal events to be grateful for: my
father’s 90th birthday, my niece’s graduation from university and a good friend’s daughter’s wedding.
I invite you to join us in classes, workshops, or book your private session, to work toward your goal of living your avowed dreams and to learn how to do so with ease and pleasure.
My best wishes to you and yours for a great Spring of sun, growth, lots of flowers, and rebirth.
