Been sailing a lot lately. In fact if, if I'm not in the house, I can only be in 2 other places and one of them would be the lake (hopefully on a boat). Sailing has become an obsession. When I'm done with my lessons, I come home at night thinking about tacks and jibes, imagining how I can do them better next time. When I see a rope lying around, I would pick it up and practice knot tying. The other day, I ordered my sailing books from Amazon and since then I've been checking the mail, everyday, if the package has arrived.

Obsession is such a tricky thing. It breaks the rule of "doing things in moderation" and you know what happens when you don't do things in moderation?! I must say though that the sweet thing about being obsessed is that it gets me to focus on one thing and all the energy that I have is poured into that. I get things done quickly and have lots of fun and adventure in the process. In return, it is this adventure that fuels my obsession.

Now, if I can just be obsessed about the right things then I would be able to accomplish so much more. But then again, can I really control the 'object' of my obsession? Or, will it be too late because once it's labeled then it already is?!

To the God of all things, I pray that you guide my path.

ahoy! is my mantra right now. tachs and jibes, i suppose, but it seems my focus needs more to be on how to avoid ever hitting a sail boat larger than the one i'm in (again)!

"keep sailing bob!"

water = bad. 2 wheels = good. That's my obsession. Along with all things DMM ;)
