post-Nanaimo reflection

even though i don't travel a lot compared to others
this mini trip has changed me

we went to all these wonderful provincial parks, beaches, towns..
- cathedral grove (macmillan provincial park)
- coombs town (famous goats on roof but we saw no goats)
- englishman river falls provincial park
- rathtrevor beach provincial park (my favourite of all)
- downtown nananimo
- chemainus (aka mural town)



i have learned:
to count my blessings
to be grateful for what i have
to appreciate nature more
not take things for granted



now i know:
why british columbia is termed 'beautiful british columbia'
how peaceful and calming the ocean can be
just how vast and big canada is (and i have only seen a tiny fraction of it)
the world is such a beautiful place



things i appreciate:
clear blue skies
beautiful shorelines
panoramic beaches
urban city life



there is so much more of this world i want to see and explore and experience with my own eyes

there are some things you just have to experience with your own senses... the panoramic shoreline, the smell of the ocean, the ocean wind, the sounds of the waves...
