Learning to sail is still . . . → Read More: Autumn Courage]]> Autumn days remind me of cool breezes and dreams that have not yet been realized. Growing up I always dreamed of learning to sail, I was fascinated with the idea of living aboard a boat and sailing the world with the love of my life. Romantic, oh yeah, realistic, who’s to say.

Learning to sail is still on my “to do” list that keeps getting longer the older I become. It seems there is always new adventures awaiting and new grounds to break. One of my greatest hopes is that “I never lose this since of wonder” and that I always look to the next adventure with excitement and courage.

I wish this for my children as well.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. 

So throw off the bowlines

Sail away from the safe harbor 

Catch the trade winds in your sails 

Explore

~ Mark Twain

One of my favorite songs about sailing has always been Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills and Nash. I hope you enjoy it on this first day of Autumn.
