It took its dear sweet time, but winter is finally back in my little corner of Etobicoke.

New Years Eve, Skating at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, ON

(download)

I spent my New Years Eve as I spent the rest of the year: Gliding about wildly, with just enough control to stay upright, having a heck of a good time.

Last year at about this time I wrote a set of guidelines for myself to follow over the -then- year ahead. I thought I'd ought to share them here, as a lot of what you've seen here is a result of me following my own advice.

I like to think I stayed mostly on track.

 

Say yes.

Follow through.

Be honest, always.

Empathise.

Be good to people.

Be good for people.

Socialize.

Forget anxiety.

Never apologise for others.

Slow down.

Be outside whenever possible.

Live in the present, as much as you do the future and past.

Enjoy what you can.

Do what you want.

Pursue the interesting.

Be more of a human being, and less of a brain in a vat.

Say yes: Mean yes.

Follow through.

Always.


You'll have to wait another year to see what I've proposed this time around!

Canadiana Winter Wear: Canadian Pacific Travel Posters

Canadian Pacific has done more for the Canuck identity than I can even comprehend.

It has been snowing for a solid 24 hours, and, as they say, it doesn't show signs of stopping.

More than dreaming of a White Christmas, I'm hoping for a Ski-coloured Boxing Day at Kissing Bridge.

The Plan: Saint James Pont

I love the buttons and the Cape Breton style of this Saint James sweater - available from Lark.

It will be mine! (When I can afford it, possibly for my birthday.)
