We're on the hard today. The marine forecast has a small craft warning with wind, so after four days on the boat moving from one destination to another we are spending a day tied up. Tomorrow will see us with only 125 nautical miles left to go until we get Jim's boat back to its original boatyard in Rockland, Maine. Our plan is to take take two more days for that journey.
Today is for watching the busy boatyard workers where we are tied up, move boat after boat onto the hard. Last night there was snow at Jim's farm in upstate New York. Winter is indeed coming so the boats all up and down this coast need protection.
Today is for laundry too, all those garments that protect us from the elements need their own level of care. What kind of care will you take of yourself today? Will you reward yourself for having worked hard at some task recently? Will you relish the time it takes to stretch yourself out, get all the kinks out of your body, in whatever way you choose? Will you read something just for fun today? Will you stare at the clouds on your back resting on your yoga mat, admiring their very ability to shape shift, like I did this morning? Will you make a point of really talking to someone today, about something real, not just the pleasantries, the superficialities? Will you feel grateful for something you experience today? Let's hope so.
