Alouette lake in Golden Ears is really nice but when it's hot in the summer it's impossible to find parking. Making more camp sites and more parking would be nice. As summer starts to wind down we reflect on what's behind us and what's in front of us - the past, present and future. After all, truth is a knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come.
Brian Adams wrote a popular song about the Summer of /69 where he reminisces of days gone by. It's nice to have good memories but it's also nice to make new ones. As we get older sometimes people say oh I wish I could be young again. Not me. It was fun but I don't want to do that again. I want to try something new. A salute to the road ahead.
It's hard not to stress about the cost of land now. It has a significant effect on the quality of life. Yet it's important to look forward. Solomon said where there is no vision, the people will perish. People need something to hope for. People need something to look forward to. People commit suicide because they give up, they lose hope. Yet we all know it's darkest before the dawn.
It doesn't rain every day forever. Eventually the rain will stop and the sun will come out. Sure life has struggles but nothing we attain in life comes without hard work. Overcoming challenges makes us appreciate life. When I look at the world, I think about how the media has changed.
What used to be credible news outlets have become ridiculous machines of propaganda. I guess that's part of our current Orwellian adventure. Yet we're still allowed to think. We're still allowed to feel. We're still allowed to act. If you set new goals you have something to look forward to.
You're right. People need something to look forward to. I'd like to look forward to going camping in a provincial park, but getting reservations is most difficult.
