Thankful

We spent the final day of 2011 in the winter wonderland that is Garibaldi provincial park.  Lots of snow and mild temperatures made for great conditions to explore the backcountry - add to that some blue sky, sunshine, incredible views and some fun-loving friends and you have a perfect way to send out what was an incredible year!

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions, so you won't find any here.

To me, resolutions are empty statements without a will to carry out the action to achieve them.  As a result, they are just...empty.  Only by taking action can we be effective in reaching our goals.  I firmly believe that we alone define the nature of what is possible for us as individuals, and it is the manner in which we define our possibilities that creates a freedom to accomplish anything.

What may seem impossible is never out of reach.

I am thankful for many things in the year past that have reinforced this belief, and in reflecting on the last twelve months, am grateful most for the many positive influences in my life.

Don't resolve to do it.  Do it now.
