This year I am going to do more of the things that I have always enjoyed and learn more of the things that I have always wanted to learn. For instance, I love exploring while driving. I like to see where roads take me, dirt roads to the middle of nowhere, finding meadows, rivers and streams. Last summer, the kids and I explored a lot of the area around here finding all kinds of unique places in the wild. Not everyone enjoys doing this, just driving nowhere and seeing where it takes you, especially off the beaten path. I love it and now I can just do it. I also love hiking, camping, biking, boating, etc. I have done all of these intermittantly over the years but this summer I am going to do a lot of it. I found out about a white water canoeing course that is coming up and I plan to take it. I think white water canoeing would be very exciting. There are some amazing rivers and hiking trails in NB that I want to explore. I am going to make friends with people who enjoy doing these activities, already have with Paul from Fredericton, and just live life.

Also, if anyone has some x-country ski boots, 3 prong kind that they want to sell, size 8 1/2, let me know. Mine dissapeared in the last move, no idea where. I miss x-country skiing and they have an amazing trail here in Miramichi.. Hmm, I think my poles might have gone missing too, but I’m still looking for those.

I’m filled with exuberance to get out and do stuff, especially with the sun shining so brightly. I love the spring and the sun has so much power. It makes me feel alive and I want to get out and experience life.
