Personal #3


My time spent outdoors today was at the FGCU lake front. A few friends and I decided to borrow one of the Hobie catamarans that the FGCU campus recreation has by the waterfront. We had a great time sailing across the lake and were able to swim a little too. While we were on the water we noticed lots of wading birds, a few smaller fish and an alligator too. At one point the wind died down, and we were barely moving at all and it was very quiet and tranquil on the water. In response to Socrates question as to what the best way to live is, its different for every person. For those who grew up living a troubled life, a simplistic one may appeal to. For someone who grew up without challenge and chase, a new adventure all the time may be the best way to live. For me, the best way to live would be to be with my family. I miss the old days back when I was a kid; when around birthdays and the holidays, my usually small family dinners and celebrations grew to 25 or more people around the table. The best way to live, to me, is surrounded by the ones you live for; the ones you love.
