Walking in a Winter Wonderland in Whistler

Good morning dear hearts and a happy new year to you all.  I am BACK.  Thank you so much for all your good wishes and butt repair tips here, on Facebook and via email.  This thing has been a complete BITCH but I’ve got it down to mild sciatica in the morning and a sort of bruised feeling in my bum at all other times, so definitely making progress. I can also sit which is a Christmas miracle in and of itself.

In case others think they might have the same problem I'll be writing a post in the near future about all the treatments I did and how they did or did not help.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season in the meantime.  We made our annual trek to Whistler, wherein I pack the Husband and the Minx off skiing and then take myself off on snowy walks with my camera and my thoughts. This year we had plenty of snow and plenty of sunshine and it was quite breathtakingly beautiful.

One thing I did in Whistler was to read This Year I Will… which is full of tips and tricks for actually sticking to New Year’s resolutions.  One tip that is resonating hugely with me at the moment is to concentrate the mind and give the year a title.

So for me this year is going to be The Year of Getting Organised, The Year of Photography, and The Year of Getting Fit.  I like the idea of not making specific resolutions, but instead choosing areas of focus and attention.  That way I can accommodate my butterfly mind by doing lots of different things in a certain category and not have to beat myself up if I fail to keep specific resolutions.

Have you made any resolutions for 2013?  What will be your areas of focus?  Do you think I’ll actually manage to tidy my desk this year?

Get a job, haircut and keep on keeping on. That is all.

    Paola,

    Just happened upon your blog and am thoroughly enjoying it...something I don't normally do. Anyway, hope your sciatica is better. I went through the same thing and it lasted about six months. Went to chiropractor, didn't help; deep tissue massage was helpful; had a TENS treatment that worked for several hours; stopped all exercise, except walking; bought 'Lose the Back Pain' and was very faithful to the program's stretching regimen..all to no avail. Bought an inversion table, which I found to be very helpful by getting blood supply to that area. After lots of laying on the couch, eventually, without any doctor intervention, I finally came out of it. I also discovered yoga during this time. My lower back pain still persisted, but that was nothing compared to the pain in my glute. Now, four years later I'm starting to get that feeling again in my glute...not good. The good news, however, is recently my lower back pain has disappeared. I think I know why. Good luck to you, but I honestly think it's something you have to work through on your own and it will go away.

    This all looks FANTASTIC, Miss Paola! Hopefully, we get the chance to check out all of these fab recommendations!

  • k on Things I Am Loving: Forms in Nature

    That's amazing. I don't think I could sleep in there, though. (Chicken.)

  • Dana on Project 52: Sign of the Times

    You are totally right. When did the Minx get so big? You've taken a beautiful picture of her.

  • Dana on Gulf Shores Food Photography Workshop

    What captivating photos Paola. I had never even heard of Gulf Shores before (inveterate West Coaster here) and now would love to see for myself. I am very much interested in how this workshop changed you and your work, so please consider further posts about your experience.
