One of the great things about Big Bend is that it is in nature. The reason I say this is that I was recently able to hang out with some friends in the Big Bend National Park area, or essentially "in nature". Why is this such a big deal? Well, when it comes down to it we were able to communicate with one another in nature with way less interruptions which constantly chisel away at our peace in civilization. If you have not had a close conversation recently with someone who you admire, respect, care about, or simply want to get to know more about, then you are doing yourself a great disservice if your get together does not include some form of being outside in nature.

I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in this outing, I appreciate having the opportunity to meet you all and I truly enjoyed spending quality time with you!

Oh, and by the way... Where did November go? I mean, I know it isn't over... But don't you agree? We're about to blast through this one with only December to go before the year's end... Make sure to spend time with one another enjoying actual quality interactions rather than buying into these ideas that we need to know more about someone else's family (i.e. television shows) in order to have conversations rather than enjoying the company of one another with some stimulating activities like a great game of Scrabble or something where we actually *gasp* talk with one another and learn with one another!

Have a great day!
