Away for a while...

...but I hope to be back here soon.

Despite all the gardening posts on this blog, you did know I'm a clinical dietitian at a large, acute care hospital, yes?

Vancouver General Hospital remembers 100 years: Private ward dinner tray, 1933

And now my mind, energy, and time are focused on this work as well as preparing for an upcoming educational event. This is my latest "excuse" for why I'm unable to spend time on my -- or your -- blog.

See you soon, I hope. I miss my online time with you all.

(The photo has very little to do with my day-to-day work -- or present day reality -- but I do love this glimpse into history.)

I'm facing up to the numbers. And they're spurring me into action.

Twenty days into the new year. Ten months since my last published Dietitian's Journal post. Five drafts partly completed. And one piece of advice (but not the only one) I'm going to try live by this year:

"Finish what you start" by Irina Troitskaya | Advice to Sink in Slowly http://advicetosinkinslowly.net

Yes, wise words, though I think in this case, it's advice to apply quickly.

Back to a more regular blogging schedule...

...after 4 weeks of mostly work (the usual stuff of a clinical dietitian's day plus mentoring dietetic interns and attending a nutrition support workshop) and some play (long, weekend walks absorbing colour & light and a bit of writing at the Hedge Society).

I really don't have much to say in this post. Just that I'm back. Hello. I hope you're enjoying this season (Autumn for some, Spring for others). And for those of us who are heading toward winter, let's remember the good things about cooler days and longer nights.  As a friend recently tweeted:

@sophiemostly 

some say it's easier to eat well in the summer but I'm a much happier autumn winter cook. All those easy soups, beans, stews. Who's with me?
