I'm going to go sailing today but will have to watch the weather as there are small craft warnings out on the harbor. It can get a bit dicey, and I may have to just use the jib. Too much sail area can sometimes cause a shroud to pop. I may sail up one of the rivers and see if there is more protection there. I'll likely decide when I get on the water.
But I'm just glad to have it be Saturday. It has been a fairly good week but a tiring one. I think that the late night meetings and the hour long drive to the country afterwards cause me to be sleep deprived.
I often wish that there were more Al-Anon meetings in the area. But then I know that there are places that don't have any and people have a long drive. I am grateful to have at least a choice of one to go to every day of the week if I want to do so.
Because it's Saturday, I got to sleep in until 7:00 which is a rare event for me. I hope that all of you enjoy your weekend whatever you're doing. And maybe just take some time to loaf a bit. And observe the birds, the sky and maybe the last little bit of cool weather.
I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

I hope you have a great sail. Your post reminds me of my childhood days when we would go sailing on Lake Mead in my dad's Columbia 7.6
ReplyDeleteI too slept in for a change! 8am--not a record but close.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to have a meeting each day to attend and not so long driving time. Glad you are aware some of us don't have those options.
Bless-ed Saturday Syd
Loafing is good for the soul! Have a good weekend and be safe!
ReplyDeletesounds delightful :) yup - me too - slept late. look forward to seeing how the boat outing went. see u
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I wish you luck in your journey. You are a very strong person...never forget that.
ReplyDeleteloafing around i did today, thank you! i hope you did too...
ReplyDeleteHope you had a smooth sailing. I totally don't understand some of the sailing verbiage, however I did giggle at the word "jib" which reminded me of Wedding Crashers which is one of my fav movs. :)
ReplyDeleteHow peaceful nonetheless to be sailing and close to the power & life of this Earth.
Have a gr8 Sunday!
I wish there were meetings in my area as well. In order for me to attend a meeting, I have to drive to other neighborhoods. Maybe one day when I actually have the time, I can start one here. We have AA & NA meetings but no Al-Anon meetings. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteListening to you this past month with all these hobbies, i thought I too need something to have as a hobby, just to use as a social outlet to meet people other than AA then my old friend called to sign me up with a bowling team.
ReplyDeleteNow i need to practise, I have also set up a Access Database to keep track of the scores, I think Im gonna enjoy it.
Thanks for helping me Syd
