Despite the sudden onset of winter here on the West Coast I am excited for all the adventures that lie ahead which inspired me to write about the beautiful hike I did today.
When I woke this morning it was late, almost lunch time. I was upset with myself for having slept so late and felt that I completely wasted my morning. This is my not knowing what it is to relax and recognize when my body needs rest. I immediately felt down, I was tired and wanted to stay in bed all day.
The catch.....the sun was shining.
How can you feel down when the sun is shining? Not to mention flurries were in the forecast for tonight so I knew that I had to get out while the weather permitted.
I got my arse in gear, put on a pot of coffee and began to brainstorm (with a little help) what adventure I could get myself into today. Although I desperately wanted to stay home and relax I knew that some fresh air and exercise would do me a world of good so off we went to York Harbour to hike the Southhead Lighthouse Trail.
Now, I had completed this hike a few years back in the early fall but today I knew my perspective would be slightly different. SNOW on the ground and frigid winds dropping our 3 degree temp to below 0. Immediately I was second guessing my decision.
I would regret going back home so what do ya do, bundle up and giv'er.
