I’m writing this to all my family, friends and loved associates about the experiences, strengths and hope of the 50 plus years “young “of my life on this wonderful place we call earth. I like to quote “I’m old enough to be called Grandpa but young enough to be called son “I feel that I’m at the pinnacle of my life, while yet, enjoying my grandchildren, I still have the love of my father as well, my TODAY is the best I have and I must make it happen……etc . My experience truly tells an individual, that, you the person, are the captain of your ship and the Author of your life’s book.
I am living proof you can teach an old dog new tricks, like creating a web page and learning all about computers and it’s software……etc. I enjoyed a pleasant discussion with a wonderful young lady about how much love I must put into building things like picnic tables, honestly, I never did thought of it as love, but just as a necessity, I once read:
If you work with your hands, you are a laborer
If you work with your hands and mind, your are craftsman
If you work with your hands, mind and heart you are an artist
I guess, I’m an artist, therefore showing my love to humanity by designing and building tables for anyone to enjoy really does say something!
Lately I’ve discovered the joy of the cruise ship experience, artist Jimmy Buffet once said “You can find me a deck of a ship anytime" and this is the case with me. Truly the cruise experience is like no other vacation on earth, you will not find any experience which allows you to unpack once in a hotel room to grab the excitement of multiple cultures in one leisure setting, or how about seeing the fauna, flora or the shades of teal, azure, turquoise and aqua of the Caribbean sea, how about an incredible sunrise over the Caribbean as well, how about whale watching in Cabo San Lucas or the Northern Pacific or even viewing snow capped mountains of the inlets and sounds of the Pacific Northwest ……………I truely believe the world is your oyster, where the sky is no longer the limit, but heavens provide opportunity and you are only limited with your own creativity and imagination.....so let's sail away to new worlds to seek out new cultures and ports of call unknown.
