Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to celebrate the many wonderful things in our lives. As people in Canada travel long distances to share in the festivities with family and friends, it is time to reflect and give thanks. Personally, I like Thanksgiving because of the friendships, joy and love expressed among best of friends, family, old acquaintances and people we are meeting for the first time.
By reflecting quietly, I realize how grateful I am for all those who have touched my life. Sometimes it is an encouraging word from a stranger, that unexpected phone call, or a random text from someone you are missing that reminds me of how truly blessed I am. Reaching out to those special people in our lives is a fantastic byproduct of Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is a special day. I wish you and your family all the best on this day of thanks! And if all else fails, remember:

Today I am going to attempt to play 9 full holes of golf. After 5 months, I think I have the energy to hit the ball 40ish times.

I have high hopes, not for my score, but for the fun I going to have bashing that little white ball around my home course of Osprey Links. Continue reading
Chipping for the first time in 4 months; time to knock off the rust!
After 6 months of treatment, I am finally back on the golf course. Albeit only chipping and putting, but I am back. I must say that this health imposed break from golf was challenging on many levels. Yet, I never realized the impact golf has on my mental state towards life. Golf really is a large part of my summer and I really missed playing this year.
Of course, I need to keep my perspective because golf is important, but not as important as doing daily activities with my wife and best friend. It is in this area I missed doing the fun things like kayaking, hiking, and day trips to explore our area. Now that I am back, we can pick up where we left off. Continue reading
