Your Ambitions Are Great

What you do, and what satisfies you, is enough. You do not need to be an athlete with a disability or to be in the spotlight to be a good, hard working, productive, happy person who is worthy of affirmation and appreciation.

The praise of men and memories of the glory days will not provide lasting satisfaction. Find who and what gives you meaningful purpose now, and focus on that.

Back on the Water - Sit Skiing

I miss water skiing sometimes. Not just normal skiing, but sit skiing, too. I may be able to scrounge up some photos and videos from the sit ski my dad made for me. I've never used a factory made one designed for more aggressive skiing, but dad's build was great.

Unfortunately, the infrequency of using it and hassle of going for a run made me veer away from it. I can be like that; I like to focus my attention and efforts on things 100%. When I cannot because of seasonal interruptions or other factors I have trouble finding value in continuing with an activity.

Certainly photography has it's seasons for certain types of shooting, in Saskatchewan, anyway, but there is always something to photograph. Sit skiing and target shooting are my two best personal examples of activities I love, but have seasons they cannot be done in.

With that, I leave you with a video I just learned of of a relatively new quad working on her sit skiing. It's fairly lengthy so you may want to skip the the more interesting parts, but neat, nonetheless. Youtube has many more if you want to learn more.
