Ideas of what a person can do this time of year?

Well that depends on where you live now doesn’t it. No I’m not going to get into that. I’m here in Ontario, Canada and we just got a foot of snow and what am I going to do? One thing for sure is I’m not going to go sit in a snow bank and pretend like it’s summer. It isn’t and noting I can do is going to change that.

I could fly south and make spring come early. Now that is the answer. It won’t change the temperature here but it will maybe change my attitude and my perspective. In fact that is what I am doing. I am on a plane right now headed for the mountains in Ecuador where I am told it is eternal spring. I am not going there to change my perspective but I am sure that is going to happen.

I love spring. I love it when everything turns green and things start to come to life again. I love the fresh air. It makes me want to be outside not just to run from car to house but to relax and stay a while. When I include living outdoors into my life style it refreshes me. It’s like a glass of cold water on a dry summer day. You see I don’t always take the time to do it. It is not that I forget how it affects me, I just get too busy.

So here is my idea. I resolve to not cheat myself this year. I am going to take the time I need to enjoy my outdoors Living space. To not only smell the roses but the tulips and daffodils and lilies as well.

Now I’m not sure whether this is going to be any different then a New Years resolution but it is going to be my goal. Are you with me? Sometimes we have to work at what we know we should do. No more excuses. So what we have to do now is plan for it. Set aside times and plan on taking advantage of our favorite space.

That is my plan. That is my goal.
