Canyon Lake great therapy for ‘one of those days’

BY Aprile McKinnon

Hello there Canyon Lakers, I hope that this day brings you love, peace and joy.

We all can be faced with difficult situations in our lives. What we do with those situations is of the utmost importance.

When I am having what I call a “frustrating day,” I pick up my dog Ace’s ball and I go and play with him for a little bit. He is always ready to enjoy the day and I have never known him to tell me he doesn’t want to play. He wags his tail and it‘s as though he is telling me, “Come on Mom, don’t stop. Let‘s do it again.”

There are so many other things to do in our community when we are having “one of those days.” We can literally stop what we are doing, take a deep breath and look at the beauty around us. We can go take our dogs to the dog park. We can enjoy a little fresh air at one of the parks, at the lake or just on our front porch.

We have areas where we can go grab a bite to eat and run into some friends and maybe even family. Or we can head out to enjoy some entertainment, or have a drink with friends. We can go to the campground and check out what is going on over there, hop on our golf cart and take it for a ride or jump in our boat to escape on the lake.

There is golf, skiing, pickleball, basketball or tennis. We can go to the baseball fields, watch the kids play a game and have a burger. We can even stop by the equestrian center and pet a horse.

The list goes on and on. If you are bored in Canyon Lake then you will be bored no matter where you are.

Canyon Lakers, we have so much to be thankful for. We only have to open our eyes and we’ll see myriad choices to enjoy. Have a great weekend and I hope you all experience at least one of these great things to do in our beautiful Canyon Lake.
