Traveling with a dog(s) presents multiple limits. We recently took a two-night sojourn to the nearest city, Victoria, British Columbia. We ended up doing a great deal of walking and some driving around. Since we had the dog we also had to eat in our room rather than go to restaurants. Originally, the thought was to spend three nights away but we shortened the getaway to the two nights simply because there’s not much that’s possible except a lot of walking and a bit of driving around. Despite the limitations it was truly refreshing to be in the city where there’s a lot of hustle, bustle, and interesting things to notice on the streets.
Limitations need to be balanced with gratitudes. Limitations can make us aware of how very fortunate we are in many ways. I’m incredibly blessed to be living where we do, with the resources we have, and to continue to have good health with which to be able to enjoy the life at hand.
As I’m often known to say, “love what you have.”
I haven’t been to Victoria for years, this made me want to go. And yes, I can so relate to traveling with a dog. I always think we will leave him with one of our kids, but we never do. xoxo
i’ve been sitting on my living room sofa reading your blog on my iPhone. recently, i haven’t felt up to sitting at my desk computer perusing my favorite sites. i think it’s the extreme heat that has me out of sorts.
i was surprised you had the opportunity to take a short trip during this latest surge. we haven’t gone anywhere for so long i think i’ve forgotten how to act in public : – )
love seeing Heidi. love the way the city hung those gorgeous flowers. the kayak pic is so intriguing in its layering.
i’ll be back soon to leave thoughts on your other posts.
It sounds like discovering your limitations allowed you to enjoy the sites and views a lot more at a much slower pace. So instead of fleeting moments, they were lasting memories. Great photos showcasing Victoria!
