The First Day of the Rest of My Life

While the subject line is indeed true, it's a bit misleading because each new day is the first day of the rest of our lives! In any case, this is a pivotal day for me. My time in Miami gave me much time to think, rest, and regroup. When I got home early Wednesday morning I was both exhilarated and exhausted. This past weekend was one of the very best times in my entire life (for reasons I may elaborate on in the future!) and now today, after the holiday weekend, I'm easing back into "real life", so to speak.

I've committed to myself to start each day with an hour long walk. Today I started with what I call "The Million Dollar Walk". It starts at Granville Island, heads west through Vanier Park, past the doggie beach, along the shores of Kitsilano Beach, up the steep hill of Yew Street, and then back through the pleasant residential neighbourhood of Kitsilano. This is one of my favourite walks anywhere and here are the photos to show you why:
