Life is Huge

I think I've finally figured it all out.  Well, not really, but I like the sound of that!  If I had truly figured it all out, well, what would be left to figure out?  Life is an adventure - actually, I read a quote the other day that said "Life is huge".  Wow.  Powerful statement.  Life is huge.  This is what I want my kids to know inherently. That life is huge - an adventure for sure.  You get what you give.  That kind of stuff.

Adventure Mommy and co. are up at the JW Marriott Rosseau on beautiful lake Muskoka.  We were lucky enough to have another family join in the fun.  We are having a fantastic time up here.  The weather is warm and sunny (I know, I know, where did winter go?) and we've been having so much fun together!
Yesterday, the yes man, kids and I ventured into Port Carling for breakfast and the little restaurant we happened on had a "Karma Jar" on the front counter.  Let me tell you it was full of coins - and not just pennies and nickels.  Quarters and a loonie too (I put the loonie in).  Hey, I want all the good karma I can handle!  Anyway, it was a good breakfast and then we went on our way.  You know when a small Ontario town is on the map when it has 2 things - 1) an LCBO and 2) Foodland.  LOL!

On the drive up, we noticed tons of Inukshuk built on the Canadian Shield.  We wondered how they got there - I mean, do people stop their cars on the highway and build them?  The yes man thought maybe it was snowmobilers putting them there - like a kind of directional sign.  So I looked up the meaning of Inukshuk when we got to the hotel:



The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is  "You are on the right path."

So there we were - on the right path.  Yes to the JW Marriott and yes to Lea (that's how I look at it).  Thanks Inukshuk.  I think so too!  My wise friend Grace says that if it's foggy outside and you can't find you're way home, follow the longer arm of the Inukshuk - it will always point you in the right direction. Thanks Grace!

Keep smiling!
