Canada
Приєднався 4 жов 2015
I'm a Canadian veteran who is living with depression, anxiety and PTSD. This channel will be me sharing Newfoundland and Labrador scenery, motorcycle rides, drone clips, a little poetry and perhaps a glimpse inside my daily struggles.
Just trying to keep myself afloat.

Bowring Park Labyrinth
It was a mindfulness stroll at Bowring Park today. I decided to trace the steps of the Labyrinth...brick by brick of grounding.
This Labyrinth is just under 400 meters in length and if done right takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Perfect place to practice deep breathing while listening to the sounds of nature.

Coffee at First Pond
Переглядів 869Місяць тому
Today I forced myself out of the house and went to First Pond for a coffee boil up. First Pond is located near Petty Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador. It was a short stroll from my vehicle, but enough to make me winded. That's a sign I think that I need to extend that distance. I hope you enjoy the video...or at least get something from my insights and views. Take care.
Ketamine Diaries
Переглядів 196Місяць тому
Last winter I had around 18 sessions of intranasal Ketamine treatments. This was to tackle my major depressive disorder and PTSD. Unfortunately for me, this method wasn't effective. That brings me to today where I begin my Ketamine treatments intravenously. This is my first session.

Another $41, 000 raised towards the Autism Society! Well done Heritage Riders! Here is a video I put together of the 210 Run hosted by Smugglers Cove. We made our way around the Boot with stops in Fortune and Lawn. Great weekend with great food, scenes and people. I hope you enjoy the video...don't forget to check out the most amazing burnout in the burnout pit! Worth the wait :) 00:00 Gatherin...
La Scie: Newfoundland and Labrador

Here is a relaxing drone tour of La Scie, Newfoundland and Labrador. What a scenic community. From the moment I observed La Scie opening up before my eyes until the time I left, I was in awe. If you are up around the Baie Verte Peninsula, I encourage you to drop by for a visit. Be sure to head over to the lookout and capture the views from the cliffs. Sit back and enjoy!
Smugglers Run: Burin Eco Tours

Today we decided to go on the Burin Eco Tours cruise around the Burin area. It was a great day. The tour took us around the old Fishery Products building to Ship Cove past Collins Cove out to Great Burin. From there to Step Aside, Port au Bras, Bulls Cove, Path End, Turtle Island and back to port. I highly recommend this tour if you're in the area.

beautiful
Great to see you out and treating yourself to a beautiful walk in Bowring Park. The fall golden leaves looked fantastic at the end. I had no idea what a Labyrinth was until you captured it on film. Now I see how it could help you relax and think about how to solve the puzzle. This is another location that I have not visited since I was about 12 years old. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your journey.
Great video and nice to see you out and about. keep moving forward
Great to see you are out and about. Lovely day in St. John's. I didn't know that labyrinths were actually circles and not mazes. The pond and water fountain is really nice for the ducks. You should have brought Rex with you as he would have had a lot of fun in those leaves. Thanks for sharing.
I am sorry to hear the intravenous Ketamine treatments didn't work out. I hope there are other treatments available for you to help with the issues you are having.
And what a beautiful day to be out!!!
Good to see you out and about. Keep on keeping on.
My friend, I have no idea what you're feeling because I'm fortunate not to have that issue. I am an over thinker and often it prevents me from doing anything I know it has to be tiring for you but I applaud you for openness I see that has a great strength of yours and its what you have to help you get through, your theory makes a lot of sence to my maybe you should run that by your psychiatrist maybe there's something for that som you can resume the ketomine treatments and find the light that you need. Sending positive energy my friend and just saw the Bowering Park Labyrinth video that's a great sign my friend , every step forward is a good one.
I didn't know that labyrinth was there Ive never walked one but can see how its something i could , I'm not sure enjoy would be the right word, not sure there is a better word though, relaxing might be a good word. I thought they were mazes at well. Yeah I understand its something to do slow. Yeah some people are inconsiderate of people's personal space. I've been behind again have some catching up to do. The carpet of leaves are awesome wouldn't want to rake them lol. Have a great week my buddy.
Hey there my friend. I have been following your journey and wish I was smart enough to put words here that would help you feel better. Being a man of few words, I can only listen and let you know that we care and encourage you to keep up the fight. Months ago I stumbled across your channel as you rode around Newfoundland and showcased several communities. I was born in St. Mary's Bay and left the Island in 1985 and moved to Ontario where I still live. Your videos take me back home and I want to thank you for that. Wishing you well, Larry.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging message. I go to bed each night with the intentions of getting out to showcase our province, but it's like Groundhog Day. Hard to get moving, but messages like yours serve as little nudges in the right direction. Thank you.
So it's allowed to fly a drone there? Awesome!
Funny lookin goldwing ol buddy :P
Hope all is well with you
Thank you.
Awesome share
Wonderful images, thanks for sharing the beauty
Beautiful drone clips!
Looks like a dandy spot. I was looking for somewhere different to do a short hike on Saturday so I will check out this area.
Hi there my buddy , you said its a small step to come here today , I see it as a great step, one in the right direction. I feel that you realizing there are as you describe them, "trivial" Or "Silly" things is also a step , but really they are not silly nor trivial they are very real for you and man and they are hurdles that you WILL Overcome I'm sure. Not feeling the joy or excitement in things that you feel you should is definitely something I can relate to lately , obviously not to your level but I guess you can say I have a very minor inkling of it. If it means anything, I hang on to a quote of yours from many of your earlier video to keep pushing myself along, "Fake it til you make it" It's one thing that I use to push myself out doors many days, that along with my dog that's after me every morning to walk. SO keep Faking it my friend , and one day you'll realize you're not faking it it's real and it's great.
Hey you better at least go start the bike and apologize to it! Everything else is normal. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to your thoughts so keep them coming.
Hey there my friend, good to see that you got out for a walk and put together a video. It's always good to talk about things and work at heading in the right direction. Many people struggle with Mental Health and it can be tough. Hang in there and work on small steps. The larger steps will follow. Thanks for taking the time to share an update. You got this!
Indeed, even the little steps are steps nonetheless!! Sometimes I think if it wasn't for my Otis the walls of my house would be the only things I'd ever see. I've been told to take it one day at a time, but sometimes it is even down to the minutes. Hang in there, reach out to others close at hand when able, and make yourself and the pup a priority. Thanks for sharing your journey and struggles as that in and of itself is an amazing achievement!!
Great job bud
Just got back from a two week holiday in Pouch (Pooch) Cove. It's as beautiful as it looks. Very restful sitting on the rocks listening to the waves crashing below.
Nice spot. Thanks for sharing!
🌊Ya need a bench thats not going anywhere to handle the weather there I imagine, it looks ready for truss.🪁
Great video. I was raised in Marystown, my Mom is from Salt Pond. Haven't been back in years, but deja vu kicked in pretty quick. Thanks for posting.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
that was a great view from the drone and nice scenery by the pond, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Reading a book by Robert Clarke titled Luckey's Boat which is set here in Spoon Cove so this is a bonus to see this beautiful little cove, thank you Meandering Newfoundlander
Thanks for that. Might check out the book myself.
🫎! The cleanest air and brightest sun, the bluest sky over the most spectacular set of patterns on the wave anyone could hope for, a natural body healer I knows personally, a perfect recharger for your battery,(by battery I mean whatever is breathing us) that's what you get when you follow your bliss and aren't afraid, awesome. Keep it up, keep going, even in the winter months, keep going, and get out side, perhaps try saying this to yourself when you really don't want to " it's just "aweso" out there without "me!"." I've always liked this one by Emily Dickinson, she's from Amherst here in NS as you may know, and chose a life of recluse at 32, but you might not know she had a big 'ol newfoundland dog she named Carlo, which I'm sure made it easier. Understandably she was known for saying that she preferred him to the company of people! 😅Lol Anyways I hope you at least find it interesting. Pain has an element of blank; It cannot recollect when it began, or if there were a day when it was not. It has no future but itself, its infinite realms contained by it's past, enlightened only to perceive new periods of pain.-ED In my mind when I first heard this, it weirdly struck a chord and I had had enough at that point so out of necessity I was like well then Fuck you pain, sounds like you have a blindspot and you appears to be quite stubborn and narcissistic and I don't want to play with you anymore. No time for dat in life ehb'y! ❤️✌🏻🖖🏼
Great weather for a ride and the scenery and drone footage was awesome as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
Once again thank you Jason. I was working and had to miss it but you helped me feel like I at least saw a few people who were there and travelled along with you guys virtually lol! Karen
Great video! How long does it take you to compile both go pro footages in to one video?
I use DaVinci Resolve for editing. I place all the videos from my main camera on one line. They're all in order anyway. Then I'll place the footage from the other camera or drone on top of the clip where I want it. A line above. This video was quick because I only had 2 clips to add. It can be quite time consuming with multiple clips and there's audio to sync up as well. Don't think I really answered your question. 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the project.
No, you did answer it. Thanks
Well done my friend. I was touring Newfoundland for the first 10 days of Aug. The second last day of riding, I rode the same way as you guys went on this ride. It was a fantastic ride and so nice to see it again on your video. For some reason the potholes seemed worse when I hit them. lol. Great to see you out there enjoying the Goldwing. Ride Safe.
Gotta love that Victory ! I wish I could have made it to the ride as there would have two Victory’s there! Next time hopefully. Great video Jason.
That white one looked great. Those are nice looking bikes.
It was a lovely walk and coffee time!
Who sings that sweet song at the end?
It's called, Home by Ludlow.
Thank you! I'll be learning that one. ❤️✌🏻🖖🏼
My Nlfd brudder from anudder mudder, Meaningwave Play on Demand, its on yt, have a listen and hopefully start to reprogram your mind's control. May ur jib draw.
Good to see you out and about on what sure looks like a beauty of a day! I find myself in my anxiety cell quite often...many unfortunate interactions with others.
Good video. I'm interested in hearing more about how you're ketamine therapy is going too. I'm also looking into it.
Amazing share
Great spot. 👍👍
that's a awesome spot to go and enjoy a coffee a great drone video just love it. That's good for you to get out and enjoy your day. take care and have a great night
Thank you, I will.
Great spot you went to. Nice and quiet with no crowds. Awesome drone view of the pond and Petty Harbour. Thanks for sharing.
I can see being anxious, and feeling skeptical I feel that's the norm for anything new that happens even a vaccination can feel anxious. I feel you have a very positive attitude and you definitely want results so that goes a long ways, Good Luck my buddy
Thank you.
hope it works out for you take care
Thank you.
I hope this treatment works out for you. They probably started with a lower dose and will increase it as you go along so maybe that's why you didn't get the results you expected.
I was thinking the same thing slowly build up, just know we're all in your corner
Yes, they upped the dose the last two sessions. What a difference.
@@Meandering_Newfoundlander Great that it is working now.
Where did you have the treatment? Which company?
ANSR Clinic at Churchill Square in St John's.
newfys dont know how to fix there roads
Great video! I couldn't believe the number of bikes. Nice drone footage of Smuggler's Cove and your bike ride. I loved the video and the awesome bike sounds as they went by at Point May. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
home sweet home!!!
