KHC December 2020 Newsletter
Happy New Year! A fresh start for 2021 after a rollercoaster of a ride in 2020. Thank you for all your patience and understanding as we’ve navigated through some challenging times this past year. Despite the craziness, we’ve had many wonderful adventures that have brought members closer together, allowed us to explore new trails, and take in the glories nature has to offer.

The Vancouver Sun had a poll a few days ago asking “If you make resolutions for 2021, what will you focus on?” The categories were self-care, finances, relationships, housework, other. My new year’s resolution is simple, hike. Hiking takes care of all the categories. Hike for self-care – fitness (burn off that turkey) and mental wellness (see ya COVID19); finances – if I’m out hiking/snowshoeing it’s free once I’ve got the gear and I’m out on the trails instead of shopping online; relationships – hiking with people brings laughter and joy because we’re always happy on the trail (endorphins); housework – if I’m hiking it’s out of sight out of mind; other – there’s always something else waiting to be done so I’m choosing the things that bring joy, calm, creativity, and simplicity, i.e. hiking.
Feel free to share your resolutions for 2021!
