What is the lifestyle of your dreams? Living in the Alberni Valley, we are fortunate to be able to
enjoy many leisure opportunities.
We have clear air, clean water, green forests, rugged mountains and
beautiful scenery. Because we have
quick access to water, with the Alberni Inlet, Sproat Lake and Great Central
Lake close by, it’s easy for most people to enjoy fishing,
water sports or boating. The trick
for many people, however, is finding the time, or more time, to enjoy these
things. We often feel we have to
work harder to be able to reach our goals. Too many people work long days and weeks, without finding enough time to do the things they enjoy doing, to relax and do something for fun. But we all need to remember that it’s very important to make time for
“play”. It's often difficult to get time away from the job, but
without meaningful leisure time, we burn out quickly and are less able to cope
with the demands of our daily lives. When
we can make time to immerse ourselves in a leisure activity that we really
enjoy, we are relaxing and rejuvenating our body, mind and spirit. Think about the word “recreation”. When we participate in recreational
activities, we are “re-creating” ourselves. We only have one life to live. We must live it to the fullest. Work hard – play hard.
In the words of Emily
Dickinson, “That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet”. Life is short. Get inspired. Get organized. Plan ahead so that you can get going and enjoy all that life has to offer. If you plan well now, you can have more free time in the future to do all that you enjoy. Here are a few photos of boats to
inspire anyone who loves to be out on the water. Enjoy!
