As I sat this year and reflected on Thanksgiving I decided that we as a species need more holidays. I don’t mean more times of stressful get togethers with old Aunt Mildred, I mean more time to celebrate life, more time to stop fretting about the small stuff and truly rejoice in the wonder of being alive on an amazing, awe inspiring planet.
Choosing Not To Celebrate
One of my friends recently adopted a new religion. They don’t celebrate anything. They don’t even make joyful, glass clinking toasts to the joy of living. I feel quite sad about that because I believe we need to do it MORE. I believe that if we took more time to revel in the breathtaking world we live in, instead of stressing about it, we would be a happier, more peaceful planet.
Adventurers Celebrate Every Day
Then I connected this thought to the world of adventure. Because that’s what I do. I connect everything to adventure. I realized that adventuring is a form of celebration. That every day we are out exploring and discovering the world, we are celebrating and appreciating it.
For the past 13 years, Sharkman and I have taken a group of divers to different Caribbean islands for a week of diving during the US Thanksgiving holiday. We spend the entire week diving, exploring new places under the water, celebrating the joy of the ocean and the joy of life. I’ve literally spent years of my life underwater in the Caribbean and even on this past trip I found at least three new critters I had never seen before. That’s reason to celebrate in itself!
