Happy New Year

I've clearly been falling down on the blogging job! Hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday.

For me, this is the time of year when I hibernate and get a lot of writing done. (If I'm being honest, I also get a lot of TV watching and faffing about on the internet done!) Living in Toronto, it's cold, usually snowy, and dark by around 5 p.m. All the better to curl up with my laptop.

I usually don't make resolutions, since they tend to be the same each year (eat better, lose weight, etc., etc.), but this January I've resolved to not only to write, but participate in one outdoor activity a week.

Yesterday my friend and I went Geocaching, which is basically going on a scavenger hunt using a GPS. People all around the world devise hunts and clues, leading you to the "cache," usually some sort of watertight container, where you sign your name on the paper inside before putting it back for the next hunter. I have to say, it was a ton of fun! Our hunt was in a local park, so we just walked over with our list of clues. Will definitely be geocaching again! It's an appealing way to get active outside.

All right, back to the grindstone!
