Cold!!!

I was all set to leave Calgary a few days ago and was only going to bring a fleecy jacket... luckily, someone convinced me that it could actually be cold here in PG! So, I brought a duffle coat, gloves and  scarf... Good thing, it was -23 C last night!!! I got a toque at Walmart and I think I am set. I have resisted getting long johns... so far so good. This morning I walked down to Starbucks and met a friend for hot chocolate and coffee... My plan for this week (leading a workshop here in PG)... is to walk down to Starbucks every day, getting there at 6 am and sipping a hot chocolate while reading a book. My plan is to have some time for myself and to spend some time regenerating! I can easily get stuck into the trap that taking time for myself is... a waste of time... I am trying to reconnect with the idea that taking time for myself is valuable and necessary... absolutely vital in fact!!
