WINTER 2023 | 55 Thank you so very much. We enjoyed the workshop immensely. It was not only insightful, but tremendously inspiring. Below is what I posted on Facebook regarding this fantastic weekend. Jamie and I are very grateful for all that the 46er volunteers do for others and for our community. Yes! I can't wait to be able to hike to my heart's content. It was a true pleasure meeting you and learning so much from you and everyone else. Jamie and I spent the weekend camping at the Adirondack Loj to participate in an outdoor skills workshop. Taught by the finest of the finest: Adirondack 46er Volunteers. This event was a learning experience beyond outdoor skills. The sharing of their outdoor adventures, leadership, courage, compassion, grit, devotion, physical skills and abilities and passion, inspired us to pursue even a fraction of that life. I'm thankful for having been able to attend this with my son Jamie. Given my recent (8 weeks in) rotator cuff surgery, I had planned on cancelling this trip. But Jamie has been my rock during my recovery and he not only encouraged me to attend, but supported me in every aspect during this trip. I'm so grateful to have slowed down to a crawling pace with my surgery and recent unexpected departure from my job (which offered an attractive package), to look around in contemplation of God's blessings, and be attentive to His plans for me. "For I know the Plans I have for you." Jeremiah 29:11 Maria Staub
