Ideas that helps when cold weather keeps dragging on.
What is the purpose of meeting for lunch with friends?
How do you feel afterwards, when driving home or going on your way
to continue the tasks that are always constant in your daily life?
What is the purpose of taking a break and getting out
of the city and taking a break from the everyday routines?
- Sometimes letting go of daily problems or challenges for a short
while helps recharge
our mental and physical selves. Changing scenery helps us refocus
and recharge. I have committed to three weeks in Europe next fall.
Do I have reason to work hard? You Bet! Or take in a show at the
Imax Theatre Space Odyssey or visit a few of the antique shops in
town. Do you have young children or grandchildren? Did you know it is half price at the Royal Alberta Museum on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 9:00am and 11:00 am?
What is the purpose of signing up for a course and
learning something new?
- Well, let me tell you when I signed up for lectures through “ELLA”
(Edmonton Life Long Learning) every day for three weeks on subjects
ranging from The French Revolution to The Mysteries of the Food
Chain to Art History, I was inspired and mentally open for ever! This year I learned at little about Civic Politics with Michael Phair, a retired city councillor and some more heady thought provoking questions in a Religious Studies class with Dr. Maryam Razavy.
What is the purpose of taking a walk, with your dog,
with a friend or by yourself? You never know what you might discover...........
- Physical exercise is not a mystery to what it does for our mental
and physical health. It also is an immediate solution to clearing
the cobwebs. I have not met anyone who, after straining in an exercise
or good long walk does not have a positive outlook or a smile on
their face! My friend, Barb, keeps busy during the summer biking around
Edmonton with a biking group. She said she got to choose the level
of fitness group. She has a ball! I decided to walk to the LRT station to get to the University for my spring classes...not a bad way to start a morning.
I wish you all a healthy and forward thinking kind of summer. If you can’t change it, rearrange it. If you can’t
rearrange it, recycle it. If you need help with it, call an Interior Decorator/ ReDesigner and then exhale!
Or if you have a dock by the bay, sitting and watching the tide
go in and out may not be a bad idea either!
Inspired and Refired? Cheers!
