Lake and Mountain View




"Success is like climbing a mountain, 

you have to work as a team, 

face obstacles and bad weather, 

but no matter what, 

we always reach the top."

Martin Paquette


"The higher the mountain, 

the deeper the valley"

Alsatian proverb


"Between the shores of the oceans 

and the summit of the highest mountain

is a secret road that you must travel

before you become one with the sons 

of the Earth."

Khalil Gibran


"When you have walked for two hours 

on a mountain, you are smarter."

Coline Serreau


The will allows to climb on the summits;

 without will, one remains at the foot 

of the mountain."

Chinese Proverb


"Culture is the source of all creativity.

That of geography and the history of

mountaineering makes us look at the

Alpine arc as an evidence, a beauty, 

a line to follow. A line, not the line! 

Like a line in a face."

Patrick BĂ©rhault

  • The Existence of the Existence can best

  • be felt in the presence of dimness

  • and in the absence of crowds and noises!"

Picnic:
Prepare a tasty picnic with your favorite snacks and drinks. Enjoy a leisurely meal while enjoying the scenery and sounds of nature.


Mindfulness and Meditation: Relax peacefully with mindfulness exercises or meditation. Focus on your breath, listen to the sounds around you, and let go of any stress or worries.


Journaling: Bring a journal and pen to consider your thoughts and feelings. Write about your day and surroundings, or let your mind wander as you write down your thoughts.


Photography and Videography: If you like taking photos and videos, bring a camera or use your smartphone or iPad to capture the beauty of the lake and its surroundings. Try different angles, lighting, and compositions to create amazing images.


Nature Walk: Take a leisurely walk around the lake to explore the area. Appreciate the plants and environment, listen to the birds singing, and feel the peacefulness of nature. Remember to wear suitable shoes and be mindful of any wildlife you may come across for a safe and enjoyable walk.


Sunset Watching: Stay until evening to see a beautiful sunset by the lake. The sky's changing colors reflecting on the water can be a stunning and peaceful experience.




Remember to bring essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent, a blanket or folding chair for comfort, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. With these items, you can enjoy your time by the lake and relish its tranquility!

The Beautiful Moments of You, With You and Through You

 


NjA Art & Photography

Slow down, take a deep breath

Remember who you are
Right now, all you can do
Is to keep walking through

When your heart is feeling heavy and your mind is full of worry
Don't forget you've made it this far

You never know what's on its way to you
Never know what's around the corner
The good and bad times in the past
Have brought you right to this moment
Every chance and every fall
Has shaped you into who you are
So don't worry, just look around
Good things will come wherever you're going

You'll know when it is time
To turn the page and let go
Highs and lows can come crashing in
But you're strong enough to weather any storm

When your heart is feeling heavy and your mind is full of worry
Don't forget you've made it this far

You never know what's on its way to you
Never know what's around the corner
The good and bad times in the past
Have brought you right to this moment
Every chance and every fall
Has shaped you into who you are
So don't worry, just look around
Good things will come wherever you're going

Ooh Ooh Ooh
Good things will come wherever you're going
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Good things will come wherever you're going

You never know what's on its way to you
Never know what's around the corner
The good and bad times in the past
Have brought you right to this moment
Every chance and every fall
Has shaped you into who you are
So don't worry, just look around
Good things will come wherever you're going

Wherever you're going, Good things will come (Ooh Ooh Ooh)

Good things will come wherever you're going

Wherever you're going, Good things will come (Ooh Ooh Ooh)

Good things will come wherever you're going

"It can be delayed, but not denied; 

anything that belongs to you comes to you 

when the time is right. 

Never give up. Never stop believing. 

Always have good in your heart."
