Deep Cove, North Vancouver
We are very lucky to live in a part of Canada where it’s possible to get outdoors 12 months a year. Yes, we get more than our share of rain, but mixed in are plenty of dry, mild days that make it easy to get out and enjoy our city and province.
Living in Greater Vancouver means we are under an hour’s drive to several ski hills, hiking trails, lakes, parks, ocean beaches and golf courses. Here we can golf, hike, bike and walk outside 12 months of the years. We can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon. Other than our few very wet weeks, there is no excuse as to why we are not outside several times a week.

Fun with Diane. English Bay, Vancouver
This week I went for a walk with a friend and she was telling me her goal, starting now, is to have more fun! That’s a great goal. It’s not to work less or worry less it is just to have more fun! I have decided to embrace her goal but add to it by getting “outdoors” more. I think by working on this “O” the overworked, over stress, over booked and over whelmed will take care of themselves. I am starting this weekend so watch for a post next week on what I did to get “Outdoors”.
Thanks Diane!

Outdoors is a good choice for O. I like to be outdoors too, but our weather doesn’t always cooperate. I’ve been to Whistler but (I don’t think) to any of the other places. It must be 20 years since we visited BC.

Come on back we seem to be benefiting from global warming because our summers have been hot and dry

I would love to live somewhere it is easy to get outside all year – here, we’re stuck putting on seventeen layers for part of the year (not that it stops me!).

It is nice to have the option but we do get a lot of rain. On the flip side everything is very green

And I for one am not generally happy when camping in the rain (thanks to the tent thing) – but I am happy to hike and be outside in it!
