Happy World Gratitude Day

Today I am grateful for my health, my kids, the companionship of my dog, family and friends, to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, and for being alive

What are you grateful for?

#Afternoon #walk along the wharf in #SalmonArmBC on a chilly #winter day. With a short stop at the end to look out over the #lake and stare long as I #quietly #contemplate #life. • #DeepReflection on life and where I’m going. Life has a lot of challenges, and ups and downs. At this moment Life has felt #down. • #realizations bring me to the point where I need to let go. I am not in #control of the #outcome as much as I want to be, I am not. • #Love is important, and to be #cherished • All I can do is all I can do. What I do control is my efforts and reactions and responses to situations. #SelfControl can move you from #SelfDestruction. • First lesson of 2023! • #firstlesson #Awareness #Inspiration #Lifestyle #BeTheSolution • #Shuswap #ShuswapLake #Wander #wanderingmind #Roam #RoamingMind #quietcontemplation #Quiet (at Salmon Arm, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnn_2VMLplj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We went out the other to enjoy a little #relaxation time at the @crazycreekresort #hotpools. • Such a great #evening with soaking and #floating and seeing all the #people enjoying themselves and having a great time. • Taking time out and enjoying the small things in life with the ones you #love is the best way to have enjoyed part of the #thanksgiving #weekend • #microadventure #destination #exploreBC #exploreShuswap #Shuswap #MalakwaBC #family #friends #lovedones #autumnvibes (at Crazy Creek Resort and Hot Pools) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjx8fynrKpg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Obligatory #selfie • All #dressedup for an #evening of #tears and #laughs. My #gf client with #ALS had his #lastsupper surrounded by #friends and #family. My first time meeting him and he is funny and witty. The stories that were told of his adventures with brothers and friends were quite hilarious. The #adventures they got up to over the years were amazing. He is going to be missed and I'm sorry I didn't get to know him better than last night. I'm proud and honoured I had the opportunity to meet him before he passes on. • Life is short. Live it on your terms! • #wordsofwisdom from last: Don't waste your time trying to push a river uphill.

Yesterday we did a thing! • We went #floating down the #EagleRiver in #SicamousBC. We took the #kids in their own raft while we cruised the #river in our #kayak and #paddleboard. • It was #smart of me to keep my fin off the board especially while shooting the “#rapids” part way into the trip. • It was long outing and the kids, especially Mr. J handled the whole thing quite well. We made stops at little side sandbars along the way to eat #snacks and relax off the water for a bit. • #microadventure for the #win • #microadventures #adventures #family #girlfriend #riverfloat #autism #friends #sunset #exploreShuswap #exploreSicamous #exploreBC #explorationLIFE #helloBC #Shuswap (at Eagle River (Shuswap Lake)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch0-YD6rvIK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This old girl took her last #bikeride yesterday. As #heartbreaking as it is she has now #retired from #biking. • Luckily we still have #walks #hikes and #swimming we can do. Biking has just become too much for her to keep up with. • Marcus and I will miss you up on the #mountain Harley; however, we will be with you for everything else. • #happyretirement #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #lake #Shuswap #SalmonArmBC #retirement #happy #relax https://www.instagram.com/p/CgZ2_XfpUvJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Fun day with the #kids and bringing #awareness to #autism with a Colour Walk for Autism in #LumbyBC. • Special #thankyou goes out to @jeepsandrealestate for putting the event on and making it so much fun. • We not #walk the same path as we both have #kids on the #spectrum • #friendsandfamily #friends #family #kids #autismawarenessday #autismwalk #fun (at Lumby, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3l0PnJAxg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is #worldautismawarenessday where we come together and #celebrate the amazing #wonderful and #special people in our lives who live on the #asd spectrum. • For my child, #stimming represents different #emotions. Different stims for different situations. Paying attention to his stims is important when speech is limited. • Mr. J is classified as low functioning and non-verbal which requires patience, understanding, and a good sense of humour. I'm not perfect at this but we do our best every day and we love him always. • #autsimawareness #autism #lightitupblue #liub #family #kids #dadmoments #sons #father #dad #autismproud #autismprouddad #iloveyou (at Salmon Arm, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2hVCgrO8s/?utm_medium=tumblr

#great #dayout with an awesome #friend and #kids. The kids did great on a three hour #hike today in the #snow. • The #dogs did really well also. Nothing like getting #outside with #family and taking in #nature. • The views were amazing and we came across a husk of an old car. There’s always something interesting to see in the #Shuswap. • #WhiteLakeBC #Canada #winter #exploreBC #exploreShuswap #Autism #adventure #BC #BritishColumbia (at White Lake Recreation Ctr) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaeABNWsqvy/?utm_medium=tumblr

We had a fun day out with the #dogs playing “fetch” in the field. • The #walk over on the #trail was a little icy but the #sun was out and the #weather was amazing. • We even took a little jaunt down along the #beach to see the lake because it’s been awhile. • #kids #family #boysdayout #dadmoments #autism #brothers #sons #dad #puppy #playtime #needtolearntofetch (at Canoe, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ592f3LY9w/?utm_medium=tumblr

#happylunarnewyear or #chinesenewyear which this year is the #yearofthetiger and with how #2022 started I want to declare this as a reset of sorts. Today is the official #NewYear • #happynewyear and to #newbeginnings • People born in the Year of the Tiger are brave, competitive, unpredictable, and confident. Confident, charming and well liked, they sometimes possess a stubborn personality too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZcGayglspg/?utm_medium=tumblr

In #memory of one of my #bestfriends Apollo. His memorial corner shelf has been completed. His #treasurechest #urn was fun to stain and create #thankyou @michaelsstores for the wonderful crafts so I could make something special for our #lovely #dog. This #grieving process has taken time and time I am thankful for having gone through. Without this time I may just repressed my emotions and had never dealt with this loss in a #healthy and #appropriate manner. I’ve ended up creating a few things around this to help me and this is one of the final elements I’ve wanted to do. Thank you to @shuswapvet and @okanaganpetcremation for helping me during this difficult time and providing a service that has allowed my family and I to grieve our lost family member.
