This weekend Spring was readily apparent in the Okanagan, and the beautiful weather brought with it that good old feeling of finally shedding the winter doldrums and embracing a new season. While not my favourite of the seasons (Summer and Fall rank in the top 2), this particular anticipation of the official start of Spring just around the corner is very different for me this year. My reality is not at all where I expected to be, but there are fantastic possibilities and the fulfillment of a long-time dream in store for me. On March 15th I am FINALLY launching my very own Boot Camp, completely outdoors in my hometown. This is combined with another goal to obtain my full fitness certification to not only live my own healthy lifestyle, but to help others do the same! For me, that is worth looking forward to.
Where the birds come in is that when I was outside today getting back from a glorious outdoor workout, I noticed that there were a ton of little birds all around my Lake House making all kinds of noise. The chirping sounds have been starting for a little bit now, but nothing like the onslaught of bird activity that took place today. It is one of those things that just makes you smile and be thankful that you are alive. I spent the Winter in emotional hibernation, and today I started to feel like one of those little birds, ready to be heard and spread my wings to embrace this amazing transformation to a new season and an improved self. All of this will help me in my journey to accomplishing a fitness goal that I have had for quite some time now (it shall remain a secret for now) and pushing myself beyond where I ever thought I could be. I had hoped to fulfill this end goal with my life’s love, but doing it on my own will be my greatest achievement.
I can hardly wait to see how this turns out.
