Out of Hibernation

Hello folks! And happy Canada Day!

It's been months, I know.

I've been thinking for the past few weeks that I wanted to blog, but then I kept waiting for a great momentous occasion to send me back to write my first returning post. Alas, no luck. But then I got motivated once more by a fellow dragon boat (yes I'm paddling now!! More on that later I'm sure) team member M. She had recently added me on Facebook and decided to check out my blog.... and was disappointed to see: no recent posts. This was very motivating for me because it meant that even though I haven't been checking my blog, perhaps others are!

So I'm back!

I decided to write this morning in particular because when I woke up 30 minutes before my alarm (I was excited to be hiking up the Chief in Squamish with another friend M.), I tried to stay in bed to fall back asleep. When I found I couldn't, I found myself thinking

"Mom always said that resting is almost as good as sleeping, so I should just lie here and rest for the next half-hour."

Which led me to think: when, if ever, will I stop thinking things along the lines "Mom/Dad always said..."? Your thoughts?

So voilĂ ! The chronic of the journey into adulthood is reopened.

[As a side note, a few minutes after thinking I should lie there and rest, I was up and about. I wonder if that's remnant teenage rebellion, or just general antsyness to get going?]
