Whoooo!!! Another fantastic rafting trip this week! I finally got the new floor laced in and got to hang out with some really awesome people I haven’t seen in awhile. The river was packed with commercial boaters that we played leap frog with but we had an amazing time.

We followed up the days adventure with a BBQ worthy of a band of Viking pirates, played charades and intimidated Folsom suburbanites.

Yesterday was the 45th anniversary of the moon landing. One of the most monumental events in recorded human history. I know there are some people out there who think it was faked but Buzz Aldrin knows it was real.

I suppose there will always be people who just want to shit on the success of others. Here’s the lesson this week: DON”T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. If someone actually achieves their dreams and goals, be happy for them. Let them inspire you to reach your objectives. Don’t be spiteful and jealous, be motivated. Don't doubt yourself. All of us are people, what sets us apart is our individual ambition and ability to recover and learn from mistakes and setbacks. Apply your experience to make a stronger foundation for progress. Don’t be content to do what everyone else is doing, embrace your passion and enthusiasm to fulfill your potential. The moon landing was accomplished by people who did just that. They brought together all their amazing talents and drive to do something as a whole that most people said couldn't be done. They defied the naysayers because they believed in themselves. If each of us did that imagine what a giant leap forward humanity would take.

Until next time intrepid readers,
