Walking With The LightHouse

July 11, 2026 What’s one habit that has improved your life the most? Campers, me thinks the key word of this question is “habit” … “One ‘habit” that has improved my life the most.” I interpret a habit as a repetitive action or automatic response. Thinking as such, I would be comfortable answering that my habit of refusing the allowance of drama and/or emotional disarray in my life has…

I must apologize for not posting as much as I usually do in my usual annoying way with my usual annoying opinions. Frankly … I haven’t been feeling so well lately. Cancer and old age are trying to beat me down, but like a Phoenix I will rise and stand my ground! Give me a while and I will be back in my usual style.

July 9, 2026 What’s a book you think deserves a sequel? Oh Campers, this one is simple to answer …. “The Bible”

“When our dreams become reality, our reality becomes our dream.” (LDV 06/20/26) Remember I tell you this. (You may thank me later for the enlightenment.)

July 1, 2026 The best way to deal with negative thoughts is to “Flip the Script”. The Ying to “Negativity’s Yang is “Positivity“. I learned very young that the only trouble that comes into your home is the trouble you let through your door. It has taken me years to change who I thought I was to who I really am. I have trained my mind to always look for the logical and/or humourous side of…

June 23, 2026 What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? Well Campers, The best advice this old LightHouse can give those who are still enjoying the benefits of youth would be, “Young Bloods, … “As you are walking down the street, take a look around.” “Paying close attention to what the majority of people are doing as they ‘walk’. “How many of them are walking down the…

June 19, 2026 What’s a common misconception people have about happiness? I believe that the common misconception people have about happiness is that to have “Eternal Happiness” is possible. “Campers, that’s an ‘Urban Myth’!” “Driven by our genetic trait to seek love and companionship.” “That one emotion we all share,” “HAPPINESS”. Our hope for happiness is constant. No one lives without…

This is not counting that 12 years ago I deleted an account that I had had for years.

June 17, 2026 What is one way you have grown this year? This past year I would say that my growth has been in the areas of my understanding that life is what life is. By that I mean I have learned to remain calm no matter what life throws my way. Getting upset, even in moments of chaos, only accomplishes additional chaos. It is highly important, and I reccomend, that you train your mind to…

June 15, 2026 Write your guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships. Dang Campers! This one may be beyond my ability to produce an appropriate answer to as for the last seven years I have devoted myself to myself and, of course, my two beautiful Chorkies, Princess Pringles and her sister, Princess Ruffles. (That is Pringles on the left and Ruffles on your right.) “There is no love…

HERE IS A DM I SENT PRIME MINISTER CARNEY AND NOW I AM POSTING IT AS AN OPEN LETTER … First let me state that I truly believe that you are the best Prime Minister we have ever had. My only complaint is that I truly believe that Canada should break all political ties with Israel until they answer for their crimes against “humanity” in the World Courts at the Hague. Canada should not be…

I will never understand why the States are completely complicit with the terrorist activity of Israel! Willingly joining them in committing war crime after war crime! Why would such a once great nation do anything that Israel asks? Including starting and fighting a war for them in Iran so the terrorist IDF Forces could watch from afar as 13 U.S. soldiers and 160 Iranian school children lose…

I refuse to allow nor accept the fact that at present my legs are becoming useless. I still walk my girls at least once per day, even though I sit and cry tears of pain afterwards. The pain I am in is beyond description! 1000 milligrams of M-Eslon morphine three times per day plus my breakthrough doses every two hours do little to quell it. My right leg is the worse – I  have to drag it and…

June 14, 2026 Do you think humans will ever colonize Mars? What would life there actually look like? Do I think humans will ever colonize Mars? I think we will die trying. Personally, I think that although we believe our technology is advanced enough to accomplish such a feat it certainly is not! Just because we can make it happen doesn’t necessarily mean we can do so successfully. What…

I remember a time when going to a sports game was a family affair. The wife and I often took our oldest son to a Blue Jays game and by doing so built a stronger family bond. It was a little “pricey“, but worth me having to work a couple of hours overtime every now and then. With my second boy we could not afford to go as often, but did go occasionally. There was a nine year gap in their ages…

June 11, 2026 What are the biggest mistakes people make when visiting your country? Oh Campers, this one is so easy!!! The answer is simply … “LEAVING” Most return as much as possible because they felt so welcome here. Come see for yourself Campers! Then you will understand.

June 10, 2026 What’s a song that always puts you in a good mood? Oh Campers, this one gave me a brain-fart … So many to choose from … After much thought and reflection I decided on a tune that is in all my playlists. That song is … “JOHN MAYALL’S” “ROOM TO MOVE” After all, “How do you expect me to dance, if I don’t have room to move?” Throughout my adolescence it was my anthem for…
