Notes from Land's End: Oct. 23

Winterizing Your Life


October 24th, 2009

Winter comes to Provincetown with a fury, making holing up at home the mainstay from November to March. It’s easy to never leave the house, emerging in the spring with extra pounds and fewer brain cells. Not this year! Join me as I put down the remote, turn off the computer and do something active!

Just because you worked like a dog this summer doesn’t mean you have to look like one! Join a gym, or a Pilates Studio or the Community Center. Is money tight? Find that abandoned yoga mat and put it in front of the TV. Turn it to an exercise program and get on the mat. I know that perky aerobics chick is annoying but she can whip you into shape for free. Life is better with a flat tummy and a tight butt, no matter what your preference.

No way are you going to the gym. Ok. Well, then what are you going to do all winter? Are you feeling sorry for yourself because your girl left you, there’s no money to get out of town and your life is like a tired country song? What’s a person to do? Give! Katie Ledoux, Volunteer Coordinator for the local Aids Support Group, says, “Our community is driven by the love we have for each other and the willingness to take time to help a neighbor.” Bringing a hot meal to a shut-in, cooking for a hungry crowd at the soup kitchen or teaching seniors how to grow orchids could move you to tears of joy instead of being a mope.

A little faith goes a long way when tough circumstances and gray skies color our life experience. Devote an hour a week to reawaken the God/Goddess in you. Our unique village welcomes men and women of all faiths with open arms into its four houses of worship. Wherever people gather together to pray for a better world, there is magic in the air.

It takes a lot of praying over gut wrenching decisions to run a government. Many hands make for light work when fresh locals get appointed to a town board. Do you have an expertise that would truly make a difference in Provincetown’s government? Come out of the closet and call the Town Clerk’s office. As the old saying goes, you are part of the solution or part of the problem.

There is a bounty of things to do this winter in Provincetown that will feed your mind, body and spirit. See you out and about!
