THANKS FOR THE NICE LETTERS!!!

Hey Cindy:

I took a few photos but they are all of scenery, well there is one of me and it is horrific....LOL. Bonney has taken 181 photos and is mailing us all a CD. So there will be more to choose from. I love my photos though, lots of ambiance. Just when I was supposed to flake the sail, I think I was taking photos.....LOL.

Had an amazing time. Met some great people. Learned so much, including navigation. What I will remember the most is at the helm in 33 knots of wind and not feeling the least bit scared (thanks Mike), and stopping in the evening at different islands was just so amazing. How lucky we are to be Canadians in this beautiful country. A big thank you to Mike our skipper who accommodated us on our various levels of competence/skill, an amazing feat in itself. Thank you so much for the ride to and from the airport Cyndie, just made things run smoothly. All in all, an incredible experience, one that I won't forget in a while.

Judy, Okotoks, AB.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
TAKE THE TIME TO REFLECT ON ALL YOU ARE THANKFULL FOR! SMILE!


Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.


If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.


Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.


Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.



With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.


Max Ehrmann, Desiderata
