2022 was A Very Good Year

What a momentous year!

Retired after 40+ years of work!

Danced at my son's wedding reception!

Rob and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary.

Regularly connected with family and friends.

Travelled to Greece and toured the islands on an epic three week holiday in Athens, the Cycladic Islands and Saronic Islands.

Sailed west in the summer. Enjoyed a few road trips.

Tended my garden. Loved my neighbourhood walks. Participated in my first honey harvest and third Christmas Bird Count.

Kept up my regular yoga practice with inspiration from weekly sessions with Niron, pranayama with Marlene, and intensives with Father Joe and Abhijata

Fed my love of literature at my book clubs and Heliconian Literary lectures, read 100+ books and attended the Writers Wild conference sponsored by New Quarterly.

Enjoyed strumming with the Scarborough Uke Jam and Lost at C.

Revelled in theatre, concerts, the ROM and art galleries.

Continued to serve on the Bluffers Park Yacht Club Board of Directors, publish the Spinnaker, and tackle the initiative to comply with new provincial legislation and update our by-laws. 

Started my first year of Master Gardener training and aced two horticulture courses (95%!) from the University of Guelph. Began volunteering as a coordinator with Toronto Public libraries, and brought more than 20 demonstrations into local neighbourhoods. 

My health was excellent - I seem to have dodged Covid so far.

Life is good! I am truly grateful.
