Sail now, don't wait for better weather!

I bumped into a person, Sherry Burton (maiden name) whom I worked with in 1983. It's surprising how we can catch up on 26 years in just 5 minutes! When she asked "What are you doing now" I jokingly answered "Trying to figure out how to make a living from a sailboat, I'd like to figure this out for my retirement". She questioned why wait until retirement and explained how she reduced her full-time job to 3 days per week to enjoy the things she loves to do.
Today's drawing reflects the feelings I had as a young child, walking to the small public school in Schomberg. Taking the long way through the fields and rivers with the sun on my face, breaking the ice along the rivers. It's the freedom of time I cherished. I'd like to get back to that. A psychologist had a theory that we spend our entire lives trying to get back to the age of 7. What do you think?
