Sailing Out of Despair

The loss of the rabbits hit me pretty hard. I had put a lot of time, money and energy into getting their future home prepared. Unfortunately, I didn't get it together in time. So I had been feeling sad and very guilty about their violent demise.

It made me question a lot of what I have been doing, which is valuable to an extent, but this self-analysis was more than a little skewed by the circumstances.

So when friends of ours invited us to go sailing with them, I realized that my plans to finish the rabbit complex were now on an indefinite hold which left the afternoon relatively free. And what better way to get our minds off the matter.

I'm so glad we went.

It was amazing.



The kids had a blast. The sea was calm which made for a lazy, idyllic sail.



Picture speak volumes





As the sun set the sky and ocean became more and more beautiful.











Sea birds in for the night, watching the sun go down.



Sailor Kip and wife Theresa, thanks again for the wonderful experience.



A magical time that helped me out of the doldrums.
