Day 275 – August 27
Listening to: What a Girl Wants.
Thought for the day: When you are stressed, float awhile.

What a beautiful day! The photo was taken during my lunch-time walk.

When I saw these two images in my field of view, I immediately thought “how do you stop a sailboat?” Yeah, you know I Googled it. There are a plethora of Youtube videos and websites describing the process. It’s not easy. As I read through the steps, I found myself making correlations to hurdles I face in my life. The first step requires you know the direction of the wind. I haven’t figured out the direction of my life’s wind yet, so the hurdles will just have to exist a bit longer. If anyone has a life weather vane for loan, please help this sistah OUT!

Found Noah's lessons while searching for sailboat stopping info. You couldn't stop a sailboat with these instructions, but they are useful!

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark:
One: Don't miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
