Like many of you I spend a good bit of time now and again admiring the handy work of others. Recently the web site Pinterest has caught my eye. There are so many neat projects to see on this site. I find myself day dreaming about building project after project. I imagine myself sitting amongst the completed handiwork and enjoying the scene. Before long a bit of melancholy begins to creep in as I realize how much work each of these project must be and how impossibly long it would take to complete them. It is then that I am reminded that I have projects of my own that are languishing in various stages of completion. Reality begins to set in. Who am I kidding? I will never have the time to take on all of those neat projects that I have spent so many hours admiring. I should stop the day dreaming and get to work. But all that day dreaming wasn’t a total waste ….. the pictures were inspiring. And hey! That cuddy cabin refurbishment project that I started back in the fall will really spruce up the ole shanty boat. Maybe I ought to get back to work and get that project finished. It will be just as rewarding as any of those neat Pinterest projects I have been admiring. And I don’t have to imagine sitting in that scene. I am sitting here write now (pun intended). So I think I will get out those tools and get back to work. And dog gonnit I think I will have some fun while I am at it. Afterall life is about the journey, not the destination. And while I am working I think I will imagine the job complete and me sharing a few pictures with my friends on Pinterest. And who knows maybe the folks who take a few moments to look over my work will walk the same mind trail that I have just taken and find themselves eventually encouraged to get back to work on their own project that has languished since last fall. And in the mean time I will continue sharing my Boating Lessons Learned.
