Looking back at 2023 and welcoming 2024 (BY DIANE)

 Well 2023 is a wrap, my TPW gang. This is the last blog of the year, fittingly written on the last day of the year.

In preparation, I had a fast review of the year's blogs and am amazed at how much we have done as a group! Some highlights include:

·         our first post-pandemic, in-person business meeting/social in February

·         a private tour of the High Park cherry blossoms in April with D as our very own guide

·         the race in Halifax in May

·         the 5K Give a Breath race for lung cancer in June

·         celebrating Canada Day (July) in our very own outdoor cafe with B & R (and S, of course) as hosts

·         walking on the island and the annual pool party at R's, both in August

·         the Remembrance Day celebration at the cemetery in Nov.

And there is a running theme, throughout the blogs, of the benefits  - physical, mental and spiritual - of being part of this caring, nurturing group. Where else would you be able to find insights on anything from good plumbers to good books?

Wishing us all a happy, healthy New Year and many new adventures!

Please put February 17th in your calendars for the 2024 winter business meeting at my place.
