I pass by Deer Lake Park when I drive from the Burnaby campus, home to New Westminster. I cannot see the lake from Kingsway, the main road, but it takes literally less than a minute to drive and park at the south end. After class, I stayed to photocopy my handouts for the remaining days of my present course. So, I drove home later than usual and I'd not eaten lunch.
The day was so gorgeous though that I just knew it would be worth pulling into the park area. What can I add? Doing this was most definitely worth it! The ten extra minutes added to my commute home was inconsequential to the lift in mood it provided.
