Falling...

Falling in anything is tough, but its the ability to get up is the true test of character. Falling in a water sport is a very helpless feeling. Whether you are trying a new trick and can't seem to land it or just a beginner falling because well.. you are a beginner. But its the fact that you are getting up and trying again. Falling puts your body in control of another element, whether it be speed or gravity, you are going to fall hard.

Letting the boat turn around and pick you up again creates character, trying a new trick 20 times before you stick it. The reward of the time that you land that trick cannot be put into words. I think this is similar to the position of the United States right now. We are going through some troubled times with employment, health insurance and many other issues.

With the 4th of July coming up, it is the right time to come together as a nation and know that even though we are falling right now we will eventually get up. We are a very resilient nation and can bounce back from anything. 4th of July is a time for friends and family, lets have everyone make sure we count our blessings this 4th. Because we are the lucky ones to have the ability to get out on the water and enjoy the fresh waters of the lake.

So take nothing for granted and get out on the lake, whatever activity you enjoy. Enjoy with friends and family. The summer is a time for rejoice, so rejoice already. Until next time...
