This thanksgiving day is most likely filled with family, friends and eating far to much. Some of us like to get outside and work some of those calories off before we sit down for dinner. What ever it is that you find this year, take a moment to mentally (or write them down) list all the positive things in your life at this very moment and focus on those things to propel you into the new year. Safe travels and happy thanksgiving everyone.

Give Thanks

I started kayaking in Wisconsin of all places, because this is where I am from. I then moved to San Diego and took on kayak surfing along with heading to the Kern River when water was available. I then made the move to Asheville, NC and have been hooked on this sport since my Wisconsin days. With whatever it is that you do, do it because you love it, not because society tells you should or for other outside factors. Don't simply exist, live!
