…SHIPS

Irish pub in Auckland, New Zealand… quote found around crown molding

There are good ships and there are wood ships.  The ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.

An Irish Proverb – 

REFLECTION:

  • What kind of ‘ships’ are in your life?
  • Do you have good friendships?
  • Reach out to a friend.. perhaps have a brew together!

A FLASH POINT

Fragrant Easter Orchid on Milford Track, New Zealand

It all started with a major flash point; I was convinced I was dying.  It was confirmed by my doctor.  He said, “Yes, you are surely going to die, I just have no idea when.  You might be crunched by a drunk driving a rusty ‘67 Buick Riviera eight minutes after you leave here, or you might live until you are 97 years old before choking on a cherry pit or falling from a race horse.  Don’t worry about dying, examine how you are living and do something to make it better.’

REFLECTION:

  • How are you living?
  • Are you doing something to make living better for yourself and/or others?
  • What can you do today to ‘live’ more?
