Hi everyone:
Wow! If you had told me I would go kayaking in a river near my childhood home at the age of . . . well, never mind. I would have said you were crazy. Really? Me? Kayaking? Folks, my idea of “roughing it” is the Hilton Garden Inn. My idea of fun is shopping at nice malls and picking bargains. I do not do things that cause me to become windblown or sopping wet, at least not in public.
I do not pull off on the side of a road, walk through weeds, and enter a potentially polluted river. I just don’t. Until I do.
Recently, I had the opportunity to paddle around the river with my sons and their families. I had never done that before. I hadn’t even thought about doing it. You know what? It was a blast! We had a great time.
Sure, I got a bit sunburned, and my hair was mussed (heaven forbid!), but we paddled for a couple of hours and had a lot of laughs.
My older son showed me how kayaking is done. So, the purpose of this blog is to ask you to step out of your comfort zone. Do something adventurous. Have fun!
Best,
Dr. Sheri
