From the Author
There is an "explorer instinct" within each one of us. Many of us suppress it, but not necessarily on purpose. Most of the time it is suppressed by our hectic lives and our demanding time schedules. Then when we have a little time off, we really just want to stay in our most comfortable environment - home. There is, truly, some awe-inspiring benefits to be derived out among Mother Nature.
There is something magical that takes place when you are within or among the peace and serenity of the great outdoors. I know what you are saying, how much peace is there on a PWC zooming down a river or intra-coastal waterway? Well the exhilaration of riding down a river is part of the benefits. The other part is when you stop your PWC and lay your tired mind, body and soul among Mother Nature for rest and rejuvenation of your innermost spirit.
When you get out of your home and work environment, your whole state of mind changes for the better. You are able to refocus your life's efforts to better direct your destiny. By breaking away on weekends, your attitude improves, your work week becomes less stressful, and you become encouraged because you know another adventure awaits you on the next weekend. You find that you are able to re-focus your efforts and that you have a better ability to position yourself for tomorrow's challenges. These adventures are more than an activity, they are a means to become a better, happier, more fulfilled person.
I am continually stressing that people stop making rest and relaxation a quest. Most of our lives are series with one quest after another. Seldom, if ever do we allow ourselves to totally relax. I remember one time last summer when I stopped along the Big Creek Bayou near Jefferson, TX and sat along the shore. The quiet was so strange to me that I actually became scared. You will experience this also when you stop along the river and "chill out." When you have reached this point, you have been without Mother Nature too long.
Never forget how important it is to go and receive these benefits out among Mother Nature. They are there just waiting for you to accept them.
