OH, THE CANVAS CAN DO MIRACLES... 15 Oct 2008

Fall is my favorite season but this October has snuck in on me like a cystic zit.  Seems like just yesterday it was summer and everyone was dining 'al fresco' and now shiny black knee-high boots, woolen scarves and sweaters are in every store window.  For me, autumn is a time for reflection and thinking about where I've been and how far I've come since January.  It's also when I reset my goals (fitness and otherwise) so that I'm right on track for the holidays.  

I pulled out my treasured pictures from my August 07' sailing trip to the Grenadines (West Indies) for inspiration. Man, my butt looked super and I was golden tan.  I was feeling happy, free and right where I wanted to be. My favorite uncle, who is a master captain, chartered a 60 ft catamaran and boy did we sail...all they way from Bequia to Mustique and all the way down to the Tobago Cays (just north of Venezuela).  All 12 of us had the time of our lives and half of the time we had no idea where were even going because our GPS and Auto pilot were broken--We had to pull out the old maps! 

So instead of watching CNN and getting stressed out; wondering what is going to happen next, get out your treasured Atlas and charter your next adventure.  I've never been more ready! Time to plan our next Lithe Escape.
