The weather this past weekend couldn't help but to inspire this week's Wellness Wednesday.  I hope you were able to get out to enjoy the gift of the sunshine and warmth that lights up the colours, smells and joys of fall.  Getting outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of Bruce Grey is an excellent way to take care of oneself.  Find a path, blaze a trail and soak in the goodness that comes from being in nature!
