Come Sail With Me

After a stressful day, which I had no control over, I thought, “just because I am feeling stressed out doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy life on the rest of this beautiful Autum day! Come on dogs!! The world is full of cactus needles, but we dont have to feel like them!”

I remember reading one day, I don’t know where, that ‘we can’t have a good day without having done a good deed for someone who can’t pay us back’. Well, my dogs, you can’t contribute to that, but at least in the meantime…

There’s nothing more relaxing, magical destressing than to live near the sea… and to have health to enjoy. I love it.

The sea calls me, lives in my heart and does not pay rent…

And it’s so good to be surrounded by my little creatures who love life… and the street!

Also, sometimes to change our mood, we just need to change the scenery…

Every time I get to the beach and start walking, something ancestral leads me to take off my shoes, and bury my fingers in the sand and play with what I find.

Treasures of the ocean left on the beach. Gifts of nature just to look at. I’ll move it with a stick and… Nothing is interesting if you are not interested, but I’m interested in EVERYTHING. Life IS the greatest gift of life. Hmm… Never mind  

Splendid! COLOSSAL! ENOURMOUS…!  They come around the corner …

Oh, this is called Valde… Is it Walderez …?!?!

Ha….. Similar, but not the same and not so pretty as my name.

The land should look much better seen from the ocean, as the ocean of the earth…

And I’m passionate about tugs. They’re so cute with their love handles around them, like us…

My God …! It’s scary to live near a port terminal…! Valdivia and Valdardena! Will there be a war? I don’t know… will they collide…?

Oh, oh… And me on the beach thinking about another day in paradise.

Oh no! At least we don’t have pirates ….

We don’t have control over the wind, but we can adjust the sails …

Whew… what a relief …

Gigantic, buuut… I love the tugboats and their little tires.

Go Valdivia … We are all in the same boat, in the ocean. May the calm sea make good sailors of you…

I think ships are the closest things to dreams that the hands of man have ever built.

The sea has no god, except God himself. And do not doubt the orders of Captain!

Sometimes life is sinking + stranding events, but we can not forget to sing when we are in the lifeboat. Because each one of us has a ‘key’, which can open the gates of heaven or hell.

All this in less than 10 minutes of a normal day. And what a treasure it is! May I not pass this day thinking about a more ‘perfect day tomorrow’.

So, when anxious and burdened with negative thoughts, I recommend to anyone who can: go to the sea, it can drown out everything with the great sound of its waves and help us to have peace within ourselves again.

Back in my little corner, I could still see the Valdivia. I wish you fair winds and calm seas, Valdivia… We are under the same sky, but with different horizons.

Bless you as you go! Look at everything as if it were the first or the last time,… and enjoy the small things, because one day they may have been ‘great’.

Why is it that we like the sea so much…? It must be because it has this great power to make us think about what we need to think about.

A tired dog is a happy dog. After this adventure, look at his smile!

Life is great!

A day at sea is worth much more than a month in the city….

Living on the beach is different, time doesn’t pass hour by hour, but moment by moment.
