Don't know how many of us are one way or another feeling the economic pressure. I am. But remember there is still much to be thankful for. Keep lookin for the silver lining. Keep reaching for the love. Blessings for each of you.

If you are in the Bee Branch metro area, drop in for sum fried turkey. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Yep, there are always things we'd like to change for the better in our lives, but when you stop and take inventory, these are usually FAR outweighed by all the things to be thankful for. I, for one, am really blessed way beyond what I deserve.

Really thankful for all the great river miles shared with many of you this year - trips to the 'Tot, Beech, and elsewhere, instructor certification, and a great boating trip to Colorado with Lazer, Scott, and Heath. Grateful for not staying plastered to Roadblock Rock on Richland :shock: and for all the help through that - raft support (Terry D), boat and gear recovery (James, Lazer, Cowper, others?), and moral support and encouragement (many of you).

Finally, it's still painful to think of losing Bobby, but so thankful for his friendship, smile, spirit, and for some great memories made together on and off the river. Deeply missed but not forgotten.

Reflecting, I'm struck by how relationships give meaning and context to life. Boating - or most anything else in life - would sure be pretty shallow and empty without relationships. So a big thank-you to this community - glad to be a part of it!

Best,
RJ

Nice!

Giving thanks on Thanksgiving Eve, even!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
