To celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, my sister, daughter and niece (not filmed) spent a few of our afternoons in Okanagan Lake.<\/p>\n

The thing I love about Canadians is that we are tough mothers. Cold water never frightens a Canadian.
\nLast year, when I was in Cuba, snorkelling in a freshwater, underground river, our driver told me I’d find the water too cold to bother going in. Of course, as a Canadian, I highly doubted it. Indeed, the water was refreshing, similar in temperature to a fresh water Canadian lake in July.<\/p>\n

Thus, on this Thanksgiving, on top of being thankful for family and health, I am very thankful for beautiful Okanagan Lake; which, is a huge part of my life all year long. I’m either in the lake or running on trails above it.<\/p>\n

I thank Ogopogo, the spirit of Okanagan Lake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to my fellow tough Canucks!<\/h4>\n

The video was taken on the beach, at the bottom of the mountain I live on.
