Take Time to Walk

Posted in life in Canada, health at 7:58 pm by Mrs C.

These days, I have had very little energy or motivation. It’s also been cold, wet, and gloomy outside, but somehow I didn’t make the connection. (Sometimes the obvious is the last thing we think of).

Today was warm and sunny, perfect walking weather. Cambridge has a number of parks and hiking trails, so my husband and I walked along the river. After just an hour and a half, I feel better already.

How about you? Does walking or working in the garden help your energy and your mood?

Recovering From The Move

Posted in life in Canada at 2:04 pm by Mrs C.

In April, we moved to a small town one hour from Toronto. We had both homes for the month of March and thought we could have a relaxed, slow move.

The reality was packing, painting, and cleaning two houses, plus driving back and forth. The house move took one large truck and the next weekend a small truck for the garage.

I can see why people lived generation after generation in the same home. You never realize how much you have until you need to move it.
