I got a small bit of grocery shopping completed at the grocery store across the road from the coffee shop and will soon be making the last leg to Green Haven shortly. With any luck, I will be on site and nude by noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WiFi service at Green Haven is very weak. Since there is free WiFi at Tim Horton\u2019s and I had to buy groceries anyway, I decided it was a good time to write up this post and send it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2013-06-25-d-1024x721.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204\" style=\"width:331px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2013-06-25-d-1024x721.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2013-06-25-d-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2013-06-25-d-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2013-06-25-d-1536x1081.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rglongpre.ca\/naturism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2013-06-25-d-2048x1441.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flowers at Green Haven<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I arrived at Green Haven at noon for my second visit to Green Haven. Brenda and Gizmo, woman and her dog, was the first person I met while walking with the camera taking wildflower photos and site photos. With the sun out, it is beyond exhilarating to be outdoors without a care in the world and without clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have paid my fees for the three nights I will be here. I do wish that I would be here with my wife beside me, but \u201cc\u2019est la vie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have talked about her joining me in the future, something she has said might happen following my first visit. I am hoping that it becomes a reality the next time I come to Green Haven.&nbsp; If not, I feel that the likelihood of her ever joining me at any naturist site becomes very unlikely. That is an eventuality that I hope never arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got down to reading some more from Moore\u2019s book, something that I haven\u2019t done since I left Green Haven eleven days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMany people think that the point in life is to solve their problems and be happy. But happiness is a fleeting sensation, and you never get rid of your problems. Your purpose in life may to become more who you are and more engaged with the people and the life around you, to really life your life. That may sound obvious, yet many people spend their time avoiding life. They are afraid to let it flow through them, and so their vitality gets channelled into ambitions, addictions, and preoccupations that don\u2019t give them anything worth having. A dark night may appear, paradoxically, as a way to return to living. It pares life down to its essentials and helps you get a new start.\u201d [p. xiv-xv]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is 10:30 and I am at Tim Horton\u2019s in Fort Qu\u2019Appelle where I have begun today\u2019s post.
