The Weather station was reporting a small craft advisory and the only other boats out on the lake were sailboats under power headed to marinas. I pushed off and Crossed into Canada and then paddled head on into the wind to get to the New York side of the lake. Once I reached the West Shore I turned south and battled the waves and wind.
Learning how to live again after someone or something you love so deeply, has been torn from your life is a difficult to say the least. Some of us never quite recover; never move past that moment. Some have even died themselves immediately after such an event and I’m not taking about suicide, but natural causes, if Heartache is natural.
This past weekend a friend saw a news blip that a portion of the Erie Canal was to be closed (about 30 miles to be exact) just a few days before I am to start paddling it on July 1st.

I arrived home today; they say that Home is where your Heart is, but my heart isn’t here and I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be anywhere because you aren’t. You aren’t here anymore and I simply can not imagine life without you.
Happy Thanksgiving friends. I was greeted by this beautiful sunrise this morning and the world around me glowing this color, well,what ever color this may be. It was a comforting color to wake up to and despite the chilly 27 degree Fahrenheit temps and frozen ground, I had to immediately go outside and take some…
I’m back. I should have looked to see how many people unfriended me, but that would mean I cared. What I care about are those that stuck with me, read my blog and agree that Hate has no place in our lives.
