Finding the joy in everyday. Today a grey haze of a sky on my way to the Breakwater. Slow rain. Just the kind that promises to wet your eye glasses but nothing else. I made sure I left them in the car. I was a bit early for our swim, so I waited for the…

Finds big the joy in everyday. Singing and swimming in the rain in the Salish Sea. I love those head umbrellas! I’m the one in the white toque which is so big that it almost covers my eyes! It was really amazing swimming in the rain which felt warm in comparison to the water. 8…

I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and the fear of the Cuban missile crisis. We practiced safety, sitting under our desks, seems so absurd…

Finding the joy in every day. A beautiful morning; a crisp 3 degrees. The Salish Sea; bone biting 4 degrees. The sky brilliant blue; the sea deep indigo. The charcoal mountains silhouetted against that azure with pink tips. Everyone felt the beauty as we entered the sea. The sun was coming up in the East;…
