Some Things I’ve Learned

December 5, 2014

I cannot believe how exhausted I am. This trip – this month-long trip – has been challenging. But with every challenge, we learn things about ourselves and more.

Like:

I’m a better sailor than I thought.

That sometimes I’m not as good of a a sailor as I think I am.

That sometimes I bark before I think.

That I love and respect my husband more than I ever thought I could.

That yelling louder doesn’t necessarily mean I will be heard any better.

That each person on board must take responsibility for constantly continuing to hone their sailing skills. Anything less could prove to be a liability.

That I am grateful for Mother Mary keeping us in her prayers and our ship in her hands.

That I have lived long enough to recognize that my life is truly a gift.
