Beach. Jack is reading the newspaper. A special treat for him. He loves reading a daily paper from cover to cover. Most days we don't have transportation to purchase a hard copy paper. It is a simple pleasure. But one he loves and misses.
I am reading a book, The Cruising Woman's Advisor by Diana Jessie. I pulled it off the share self in the marina laundry room today, while doing laundry. Almost every marina has a shelf or two of books where folks can take one leave one to participate in a free lending library. Wouldn't you just know boat people would be readers. :-)
I must share a quote that touch my spirit by Diana Jessie. "An early cruising lesson for me was learning to live with things that I cannot control. When Mother Nature has a bad day, I have to share it. Choppy seas, too much wind, heat, cold, heavy fog, broiling sun, and salty spray all have to be reckoned with at some time. Not only was it essential for me to learn to adapt to the conditions: I had to acquire the grace to accept them. "
One of my goals for this adventure is to learn to better accept the things I cannot control but more importantly, accept them with Grace.
From the quote of Diana Jessie I can see why it touched you...here's to grace...!!
