"Sail On!" Jovan & Fidela by David

Have you ever gone sailing? I tried it once and I really enjoyed it, but it’s not something you could master in a day. Not like jet ski. You can hop on and hop off a jet ski just like that and you’ll already find ways to do tricks on it. But sailing is a little more complex than that. If you know about sailing, the aim of the sailor is basically to get from one point to another by managing the force of the wind on the sails. The sailor uses the wind to maneuver on water and to adjust the sailboat’s direction and speed. To be able to do that, the sailor must have the knowledge and skills to carry himself and his sailboat in varying wind and sea conditions. It doesn’t seem like an easy job, but the sailor always looks pleased. This got me thinking a little about life. Life is kind of like sailing and you’re the sailor. It goes through different kinds of water and weather conditions. The key is to adjust to it. Sometimes you could be sailing in smooth waters, set off on a calm and peaceful sail, enjoy it. That’s the time to relax and appreciate what you already have. But sometimes you might find yourself sailing in harsher waters, trying to jump over the hurdles life throws your way - career, family - and you’re handling more than your two hands can grasp. During this time, make sure you tighten the ropes and adjust your sails. Keep your balance. Find your center. Believe that strong winds don’t last forever and you’re going to get through it. When you’ve weathered through the storm, you’ll be a better sailor because of it. Well.. that’s enough of my random musings on a Friday afternoon. It’s triggered by these sailboat pictures I took of Jovan and Dela in Sydney. Beautiful couple, wouldn’t you think so? xoxo, David
