Today is your day Boomer! Yesterday I talked the importance of a thirty-minute walk every day....what it does for your physical health. But what about your mental health? Doctors say it is just as important. The fresh air invigorates you, the blood pumping in your body lifts your spirits, and your mind wanders to non-stressful things like snow, sunsets, and your dog. This picture came from a friend who climbed a high nearby mountain to escape the cloud in the valley. What a vista! And I think that's what we, Boomers, should always do. Avoid mental depression by walking every day, seek panoramic vistas in our walks, vary our walk routines, and take a partner like a friend, spouse, or dog. Take pictures.....have fun, seek out sunshine, and breathtaking views, and maybe post on social media(like a blog!). Cheers!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
