Odds & Ends V
Another tidbits-natured post for you ...
Different Street, Different View
On Sunday, Bridgehead coffee in hand, D. and I took a stroll around my downtown neighbourhood. The next day, it dawned on me that one of the reasons I prefer the urban landscape so much to suburbia is its variety. Houses are different; yards are different. Streets are interspersed with parks, artwork and landmarks. This visual variety feeds me and prompts me to explore. When I'm on a different street, I get a different view. I like that.
Back to Work Soon
I've been on sabbatical for nearly 10 months already. During the past few weeks, I've been thinking about my return to work and reflecting on the months gone by. They've been good. In a paradoxical way, when asked what I've done during my time off it feels natural to respond "nothing and everything." Hm. I suspect a subsequent post or two will be forthcoming on this one.
Hiking Season
Last summer I rediscovered a love for hiking and the outdoors, now I can't wait to get back on the trails! With this week's mild weather, I'm already dreaming of sunny mornings spent listening to the birds and lazy afternoons by the water. Two things I'd like to try this year: canoeing and reviving my old mountain bike.
Simplicity and Sustainability
An evening listening to David Suzuki talk about his If YOU were Prime Minister tour and an evening of enlightened conversation with the Mad Chatters has me thinking about going green, sustainability and simple living again. I'm not sure to what extent yet, but the cogs are turning. We'll see where the thoughts lead me.
Voilà! A few odds & ends with a common thread of being potential seeds for future action, thought and growth. I suspect many of them will become the subject of dedicated posts in the weeks to come. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed the tidbits. :)
