Crazy April?

Did anyone else have a totally CRAZY April?

My horoscope said that Uranus, the planet of surprise was at work, and boy was he!

It started with someone showing their true colors; then there was a brief financial crisis; then someone who went missing from our lives for 8 years made a sincere attempt to reconnect. It was one thing after another!

In the middle of all that we started house hunting, which just made it all seem a little hectic and wild. Now that May is here, things feel a lot more sane.

Wondering if it was just me, or everyone had a Crazy April?

Safe Harbors

"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for."

~William Shedd


"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. Dream. Discover."

~Mark Twain


Four-masted schooner sails out of Bar Harbor, Maine

This picture was taken in Bar Harbor, Maine in 2012, during our year-long RV adventure. The RV was our version of a "ship at sea." Though the experience challenged me on many levels, it was also one of the very best times of my life. As I look back at all the pictures I took during those months, I have nothing but wonderful memories  - and some very funny stories about things that, at the time, did not seem so funny! I'm so glad that I sailed out of my safe harbor because I wouldn't trade that - or any of our travels and adventures - for anything.
