Delaps Cove

April 19, 2019   Bucket Lists, Nova Scotia, Photography   1 Comment

Yesterday Eddie and I spent the whole afternoon hiking a small trail to the Delaps Cove Waterfall. It’s only about a 40 minute drive from us. The trail itself is just a small 2.2 km hike but it was kind of hard going because a lot of the trail was very muddy and we only had sneakers. At one point I sunk past my ankles ruining my sneakers and muddying my jeans and getting soaked in the process but it was still a lot of fun. The image above is the bottom of the waterfall. It’s a good size waterfall for Nova Scotia and with all the rain we have been getting the last few days it sure didn’t disappoint! So that is one waterfall down from my 2019 Bucket List. READ MORE

Point Prim Lighthouse

Tonight Eddie and I went over to my parents for supper. We cooked hot dogs, hamburgers and bratwurst around the firepit. We had to pack up a little early as it was starting to rain a little. Mom decided she wanted to go into Digby for ice cream at Recardo’s. Ever since I was a kid I have loved Farmer’s bubble gum ice cream and their cotton candy ice cream. Tonight I got a scoop of each. It’s not something we do often because it puts my blood sugar up. After this, we went for a drive and we ended up at Point Prim Lighthouse. It ended up not really raining, just a few drops so we deviceded to get out and walk around a little.

Camping in PEI

April 12, 2019   Travel   4 Comments

I’ve really wanted to go camping in PEI for a while now and on a bit of a road trip. In fact, it’s in my 2019 Bucket List post below. I haven’t been camping in PEI in years. I think I was a teen or in my early 20’s when I last went with my parents. Well, we will be going in July! Over my birthday weekend, I have booked us 4 nights at Cedar Dunes Provincial Park! $150 for 4 nights I figured why not! So we will be spending a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. I am excited about visiting the West Point Lighthouse and maybe some other lighthouses and walk the beautiful beaches.

I’m a little late starting this but better late then never right? I’ve decided to create a bucket list for 2019 of the things I want to do this year. I’m not going to break them down by category or anything and they are a bit random, but that’s okay. Here are 10 things I would like to do by the end of 2019.

Is it denial or living life to the fullest?

April 9, 2019   Health & Wellness   6 Comments

I have to sometimes wonder that. I decided recently that I refuse to give in to Fibromyalgia. I refuse to give up and stop doing things and going anywhere. I am determined to keep active and continue to do the things I love even if they are a struggle a lot of the time. Is that denial that I have a chronic condition that causes widespread pain, cognitive issues, fatigue and balance issues among other things? Or is it just refusing to give up and live life to the fullest?

I am determined that for as long as I can I am going to continue to walk, hike, drive (as long as it’s safe), and do all the things I took for granted before being diagnosed. I’ve done this for the last 15 years off an on. Sometimes I did let it get the best of me and I stopped working, stopped living and hid away. My life is much different now though. I have a job I can work from home at my own pace. I have a loving and supportive husband who though sometimes likely annoyed never lets it show. READ MORE
