Parks

Post from summer

We are comfortable more with fall approaching, you ?

Timely

The recent and prolonged warming is  motivating action.

We are probably facing a bubble as economic  power is increased by the  completion of the Trans Mountain expansion . The gold weld was done 👍 in a  small ceremony in recent weeks.

Carbon tax revenue available

The increase in available  Fossil energy will be accompanied by revenues that are dedicated similar to road construction in the province. These revenues will come from carbon tax  and fund plans that reduce and mitigate carbon in our atmosphere. Once again, good luck to all those in these endeavors and to those that have to use their brain power to put forward alternatives to what might be successful planning.

Parks are a good place to work for nature’s cure.

TGIF-Sooth the mood…

Sooth

A get away from the day and the night.  The joy of the present sublime. Go to the line then do the recline. Make the moment go to your treasured zest, to borrow when sought. To lend when thought, and sold when bought. KDG

We talked to two

Kayakers on the Nicola River this week; “it took eight hours to boat the 25 kilometers from the Dam on Nicola lake to Garcia Street on the Nicola River in Merritt,”.

This solved the mystery of why large flights of wood ducks were being pushed downriver. We watched at least three fights of these creatures before the appearance of two boaters and paddles appeared .

When considering whether the beginning or the end of something is better, it ultimately depends on the specific situation and individual preferences. Here are a few aspects to consider when evaluating the beginning and the finish of a project or experience:

  1. Impact: The beginning sets the foundation and tone, while the finish leaves a lasting impression. Both are crucial in their own ways.
  2. Progression: The beginning often involves excitement and anticipation, while the finish brings a sense of accomplishment and closure.
  3. Quality: It’s important to look out for consistency throughout the entire journey, ensuring that both the beginning and the finish meet the desired standards.
  4. Reflection: Consider how the beginning and finish contribute to the overall experience or outcome, and how they align with your initial expectations.

In conclusion, both the beginning and the finish hold their own significance, and paying attention to each stage can enhance the overall experience or result.

Music to think by

Calm will always now truth over rash ruckus row.

Events and reactions, be a fan not a post.

The frequency of personal injuries can vary, but some studies suggest that weekends tend to see more accidents, possibly due to increased leisure activities and alcohol consumption. Additionally, certain holidays and events associated with celebrations may also pose a higher risk for accidents. It’s important to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines at all times.

TGIF- Hockey Game 6 in Edmonton Tonight.

Have a great game and a superlative weekend…

The heritage of Lord Stanley’s cup is tied to the west coast and his Namesake park in Vancouver. The cup includes the Vancouver Millionaires from 1915, and existed as a team from 1911- 1926, only having the cup for one season.

Governor General’s cup

Lord Stanley was the Governor general of Canada from 1888 to 1893 and presented the cup to be used with his name. Fredrick Charles Stanley was the 17th Earl of Derby.

The first team to have the cup to demonstrate the virtues expected to have the cup for a year was the Amature Athletic Assocation of Montreal. The Cup is said to be the hardest cup to aquire in all of professional sport.

Good Luck ☘️

Return to routine

How do

Returning to routine after celebrating a life event can be a significant shift. Here are a few tips to ease the transition:

  1. Reflect on the Celebration: Take a moment to reflect on the event and the joy it brought. This can help you appreciate the experience and carry its positivity forward.
  2. Re-establish Priorities: Identify your important tasks and commitments, and gradually reintegrate them into your schedule. Setting achievable goals can help you regain a sense of normalcy.
  3. Slow Transition: Ease back into your routine rather than abruptly diving back in. Start by tackling the most essential tasks first.
  4. Self-Care: Ensure that you take care of yourself both physically and mentally, as transitions can be emotionally taxing.
  5. Stay Connected: Maintain the connections made during the celebration and use them as a source of support as you return to your routine.

By approaching the transition with mindfulness and self-care, you can effectively reintegrate into your routine after celebrating a significant life event.

Feet on the ground
