soaking wet, with the rain and wind howling around me...

The sailboat was on remote control now and I was taking cover!
The hatches were all firmly closed and Buttercup (my cute golden
dog) was snuggled up all warm on the front v-birth bed. I
thought about how she was all nice and warm in the midst of the
storm.
"Wow, must be nice!", I thought. I'm not sure If I was jealous
or just happy for her as I was still enjoying the fight against the storm.
After a few minutes recovering, I suddenly decided to finally brave
the elements head on and go out to the bow of the boat and take
the sail down.
Climbing up out of the protection of the cockpit and onto the
cabin top, the full fury of the storm hit me.
Rain was everywhere, and the wind was gusting so hard you could
hear it go by!
Every second counted. If I didn't get it done soon I would be
completely drenched. So quickly, I dropped the big sail and put up
the smaller one. Instantly, I could feel the boat begin to "relax".
Sound crazy? Yeah, I agree. It was! And that's how life is
sometimes. It's just part of it all. However, excepting it is another
thing.
In 2012, I decided I was NOT going to accept working for an
employer any more. I was going to work a little EVERY DAY
to get free and be able to work for myself. And that's what I did
- and so can you!
Want to know how? Just shoot me back a reply and I will set up
a time with you and show you "the ropes"!
Talk to you soon. ;)
