My Birthday Trip- Day 4

By

Today is Ferry Day! I am not talking a ferry like the one in Toronto, this ship was huge! I guess it would have to be to hold 18 wheeler's plus dozens of other cars.

The Chi-Cheemaun runs between South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island and Tobermory on Bruce Peninsula. It moves passengers and their vehicles between the above two points a few times a day.

E got a business call when we were leaving the Ferry and he got pissy cause he's on vacation and still they called him. Anyway that meant that he left the ferry and the Port too quickly for me to speak about what we were supposed to do next or rather what I wanted to do first. After he calmed down a bit I asked him if we could go back and get tickets to take a ride on a glass bottom boat.

We turned back and found the Blue Heron company that did the tours. We booked a tour instead of the explorer tour but that was because I was in pain after a fall during the morning. While we were waiting for the ferry we went for a walk to see a lighthouse and I decided to be a bit of a smart ass. While E was looking for a proper path I cut across the stone beach. I lifted my head for a second to see how far the light house was and got tripped by a rock.

Look at this beach

The rock that tripped me

Then when I headed back to the boardwalk, I figured I would climb up to it using a pile of rock beside it. It worked ok but I wasn't balanced properly so I went of the other side of the boardwalk and landed on my back. Two falls in two minutes, least that's what it felt like, caused me a bit of pain the rest of the day.

 When we turned around and got the tickets, then headed back to the Harbour. We had to wait a bit for the boat to arrive so we explored the harbour and explored a couple of the shops attached. I found a lovely little bag set that reminded me of the maiden, mother, crone and it was purple so perfect for me. Once we were underway, there was a lot to see thus the gallery below.

check it out one last thing here before we move onto the Dreamers Writing Farm where we spent the next couple of days.


 

The Dreamers Writing Farm turned out to be the perfect place for me to feel like I could write though for the most part I stuck with the Travel book. The Studio was worth the extra money since it included Wifi and a full kitchen.

If it wasn't so far from home I would love to go every year.

Embracing Self-Love in Your 60s: Nurturing Your Well-being

By
  As we journey through life, self-love becomes an increasingly important companion, especially as we reach our 60s. This is a time for embracing who we are, celebrating our journey, and prioritizing our well-being like never before. Self-love isn't just about indulging in occasional treats; it's a daily practice of nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits. Here are some tips to help you embrace self-love in your 60s and beyond: 1.       Prioritize Self-Care: Start each day with a simple self-care routine. Whether it's a few minutes of meditation, a calming cup of tea, or a morning stretch, setting aside time for yourself can set a positive tone for the day. 2.       Move Your Body: Staying active is key to maintaining both physical and mental health. Find activities that you enjoy and that suit your fitness level, whether it's gentle yoga, walking in nature, or dancing to your favourite tunes. 3.     ...

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

By
 Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet.  Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.

Present and Future

By
 If I asked you to run away with me would you? Before you answer there are conditions: You would have to leave your job, your home and your family. Before you ask, I would be doing the same. You would only be able to bring one laptop and enough clothes for a week There would be no plan other than to hop on a bus to Toronto and then grab the first train leaving the station. Would you run away with me? I am confident what you would say but I still needed to ask the question. Sometime in the next two years I am going to do just that. I am so done with this town. I am done living my life the way I "should", I want to live my life the way I want. I thought maybe some land and a house were all I would need to be happy. I had that with you and look where we are now. Living different lives in different cities and both of us content with that for the most part. Except that I am no longer content, my feet have been getting itcher and itcher for the past couple of years. I don't thi...
