The dawn of a new year is a powerful moment, a canvas waiting to be painted with the vibrant strokes of our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

It’s a time to reflect on the journey behind us and look forward with optimism to the path ahead.

Reflecting on the Journey: As we bid farewell to the year gone by, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the strength that brought us through challenges and the lessons that shaped us. Every twist and turn, every triumph and setback, has contributed to the tapestry of our lives. These experiences, both joyous and challenging, have forged us into the resilient beings we are today.

Setting Intentions: The start of a new year invites us to set intentions that align with our deepest desires. What are the dreams that have been waiting patiently in the wings? What goals beckon us to step into the realm of possibility?

Take the time to envision the life you want to lead and the person you aspire to become.

Embracing Change: Change is the only constant in life, and the new year offers us a chance to embrace it willingly. Instead of fearing the unknown, let us welcome change as a catalyst for growth. Every sunrise brings a new opportunity to reinvent ourselves, to learn, and to evolve into the best version of who we can be.

Embrace the Possibilities: A New Year, A Fresh Start

Record-Breaking Sale - $4,250,000

Cultivating Gratitude: In the pursuit of our aspirations, let’s not forget the importance of gratitude. Gratitude is a beacon that illuminates the beauty in our lives, reminding us of the blessings we often take for granted. As we venture into the new year, let gratitude be a guiding force, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Nurturing Connections: Life is a tapestry woven with the threads of human connections.

This new year, let’s make a commitment to nurture and cherish our relationships. Reach out to loved ones, express appreciation, and build bridges that withstand the tests of time. In the tapestry of life, the richness of our connections is the most vibrant hue.

Courage to Begin Anew: The canvas of a new year is a blank space waiting for us to create, explore, and paint our dreams into reality. It takes courage to step into the unknown, to embrace the uncertainty that comes with new beginnings.

Trust in your abilities, have faith in the journey, and know that each step forward is a triumph of the human spirit.

EXPLORING THE TREASURE COAST & BEYOND

Riverroaminwiththetillerys.com Making Memories Exploring & Glamping

By Anna Valencia Tillery

Braden and Manatee Rivers-Gulf Area Treasures Driving across the state after an early release for work should have been enough time to get us to our destination in Bradenton prior to sunset, however, it was dark when we arrived to Encore Winter Quarters Manatee. This large rv park was complete with two clubhouses, multiple pools, an all-new bathhouse with new laundry facility, and over 400 sites. Pet friendly and full of seasonal and long-term residents, this park served us well for our two night stay while also being close enough to dear friends who were able to head over and catch up after months of separation with summer travel and such.

Once settled into our spot, we were able to grill our Koegel’s Vienna style hotdogs and enjoy mom’s signature pasta salad before settling into a long game of Phase 10.

Charlie went to bed, after a five star review of the bathhouse, looking forward to a day on the water. Dad and I took our time getting familiar with the property by going on a long walk throughout the entire park and got to meet some of the staff and neighbors while on our journey; it was a nice way to spend the evening.

Next morning, we were up and on the headed towards the State Road 64 Boat Ramp by 10am. Sadly, we saw no bait shops on our way into the park nor leaving the park and headed to the water, so we decided to forgo any fishing.

Rather, we made it a mission to really explore the two rivers were planning to visit during this trip. River #81 the Braden River.

Woody’s River Roo Though it was low tide and 5717 18th St E very shallow, we went south Ellenton, FL 34222 for quite a bit before heading (941) 722-2391 into the Manatee River. If woodysriverroo.com we had gone left, we would 14

Tre a s u re C o a s t H o m e & L i v i n g

have hit the Anna Maria Island (with that as mom’s name it seemed like a great place to go) and the Gulf. We went east instead and passed several businesses on the water before hitting the Manatee River Conservation Area full of wildlife, mangroves, and natural old Florida beauty.

A few hours later we were headed in. I watched with envy all the fun and music happening at Woodys’ on the water as we turned back onto the Braden River from the Manatee our #82nd. Once back in our truck, we stopped by Publix to grab some dessert and fresh mixers to offer when hosting our friends who happen to live in Bradenton. Right on time our pals, the Kings, arrived with chicken wings from Woody’s as their contribution to our evening of reconnection. Can you even begin to imagine how excited I was for those yummy wings? They were delicious and plentiful, so much so that after a few drinks and stories of summer travels, no one was hungry for the dinner we were going to prepare of marinated pork chops, mac and cheese, and green beans.

Instead, I sent the Kings on home with a heaping plate of tuna pasta salad instead and a great gift idea for them come Christmas (bottles for brining liquid with them during travel).

With two more rivers under our belts, we all slept easy and deeply. That Sunday, Charlie and I woke up early and took Seger on a nice long walk before we broke down the campsite so there was not much to finalize once dad finally awoke to drive us home the 3 hours it takes with a brief pitstop off Hwy 27 for a popular market in Avon Park known for their pizza and multiple soups served daily. While picking up our pizza, decorated with whole sliced pepperonis and large bacon strips, mom got to sample a bit of Split Pea soup and we picked up some fun jarred items to take home. It was a memorable weekend and with a total of 82 rivers complete, we will be prepping the camper for its own hibernation until March as we plan to Airbnb the next few trips in a row. Wishing you all some fun river adventures fellow river roamers!
