Sometimes good things take awhile

The boat is out of the water; it went smooth and is on dry land. She looks good no she looks “GREAT”; we did a excellent job painting her bottom last year and she still looks in awesome form. It was sad to see her come out of the water. Lots of things were passing through my mind as we put her up on stands. One of the things I wanted to mention is that sometimes, and in this case, good things come from bad/sad things. By this I mean the sad thing being that we did not sell the house, we are still on land and in New York for yet another winter, but the good thing that came out of this is that right now if we had sold the house and left, our money would have been in the stock market. So I suppose no matter how sadly I look at the fact that we are not sailing for the horizon right now we do have some good things going for us and it is always nice to have something positive to look at. We have great kids, a successful business, supportive friends and family, no health issues, no bills, a wonderful spouse, and still lots of time in our life for our future adventures!
