Michelle and I have taken up sailing lessons the past month in honor of our dad. For years my dad would tell us of his love for the water and his desire to sail around the world on his own boat. Sailing lessons would have been his first step, but that step was never taken by that busy dad taking care of his his daughters and sending them on their own adventures. I've learned many micro-life lessons from this.
If you have a dream, do something
today that will get you closer to it.
Hobbies can be work, but the satisfaction is so energizing that the work feels good.
Being a servant and an encourager is what really impacts people.
Faith is never wasted, even if the answers aren't tangible.
I've been leading a more quiet and private life, but I've been learning things about myself and my life. I like the quiet an calm. I enjoy nurturing those few extremely important people in my life. Before I had so many extraneous friendships that I put my energy into, I barely knew how to take care of myself.
I've been spending more time putting good foods into my body, surrounding myself with healthy couples (with John) and learning things from each of them. By spending time with new people I'm learning a lot of new hobbies like growing organic vegetables, playing the beautifully made German board games, and searching for treasure locally by Geocaching. I've developed a love for bowling in my very own pink bowling shoes, swimming laps in my pool, berry picking when the patch is open, and breaking in my new "tough girl" gloves by rigging sailboats to take out on the water.
