Stepping lively!

Wow what a week so far.  Yes it is only Monday but I feel like it is a wedding or something.  We have been planning for a long time to get the kitchen into order and now the boxes are sitting in our kitchen area.  Feels like Christmas for sure.  All these boxes with no indication what they contain.  Surprises I am sure.  I can hardly wait for the opening to start.  It is amazing to think in 4 days we have our cupboards installed and at leas a mostly functional space again.  What a very long road this has been.  There is some light at the end of this renovation tunnel.

Moving past the obvious excitement I have for the kitchen space.  I am really trying to find the amazingness that exists in each moment.  Now that 2015 is in the books a person must embrace the new 2016 with optimism and a bit of reality as well.  Lets face it the economy is not handling things very well.  We need a lot of strength in our government and in Canada in general.  There are a lot of unwanted forces acting against us to try and see us fail but we will not roll over.  The reality is life must be lived and adjusting your sails to the headwinds is a must.  Move past and move forward.  I know we have chosen a few things that maybe make little sense to some but to us we are truly happy with who we are and what we are doing.

Back to my other passion, the camera.  I am trying to find some time to get out and photograph stuff.  Not sure but it looks like that will take a bit of time before there are lot of windows to do things.  I am  very busy with the work around the house and with that comes a sense of completion.  So the camera will wait it always does.  We are planning some time to go south and get some interesting shots in areas of the US that I have never seen.  A little road trip to satisfy the traveler.  Then we are planning a trip to the cypress hills in saskatchewan.  That will be so wonderful and I am definitely looking forward to the lens time there.  I know the year seems so long and far away but time is moving forward and so will I.

Well it is time for me to get back to work on floors so off to the salt mine!

Stay warm and keep it rollin!

All the best

I am back for a small post today.  I can only tell you how much I am hurting right now, the knees, back and so on.  But it is all for the best which is the install of the kitchen.  I will get back to that in bit.

Firstly, New Year.  What does that all mean to you and I?  I spent the new year with Family and at about 1am took off to photograph the aurora's it was awesome.  I am thinking a lot more about positiveness and putting good out and getting good back.  I know most people have done the new years thing, but I am bit behind due to renos.  That being said no resolutions not changes to me.  Just another opportunity to be me and be happy.  I have so many wonderful things in my life how could I not be that way.  It is sometimes challenging I will admit but that is ok.  Take it for what it is as for me it is another year to celebrate try different things and be a better person than I was yesterday.

Now onto the better news and reason for the aches and pains.  The kitchen arrives this week.  Oh yeah!  it is finally here.  It will take a while for the install and the counter tops but that is all part of the game.  I am stiff and sore from ripping the last bits of stuff out of the old kitchen.  Had to spend a week removing old lino off the floor, killer on the knees and back.  Along with that the need to remove a section of the flooring to level it off, so let me tell you I hurt after that one.  But do it right and it will look amazing, details are always tough and I think if we were not to level the floor I would not be very satisfied and the flooring would probably not go down very well.

On that note welcome 2016 and I hope to be sharing the news of the kitchen install with you soon.
