It was sunny weather, calm seas and an excellent day to go sailing, our small group of six noted as we got set. We felt lucky. Almost, like heaven was smiling down at us. This was going to be an unforgettable experience, we all agreed.
It was special right from the moment the sailing club folks invited us to celebrate their fourteenth anniversary. An all-expenses paid trip. Dreamy or what!
It was the perfect vessel too. White and elegant, the power of the wind in her sails, a majestic feat of engineering. The interior was just as impressive and flawless. White leather and mahogany finishing. What’s not to like!

“Sailing east, sailing west, sailing over the ocean…”
There was dancing, fiercely-clear water to swim in, lots to eat and drink al fresco. We went hiking along quaint, seaside homes, picturesque landscapes and majestic cliffs that tell a history of its people. The highlight and closely-kept secret of the cruise was an observation pad to see sights beneath the ocean. Magical moment!
I just shared an adapted and abridged version from my make-believe, pretend “A Day I Went Sailing” essay at a creative writing retreat in hopes that you feel sufficiently motivated (as I did imagining and writing it) to make things happen and live like life is an adventure.
Life isn’t that serious, is it? Well, maybe sometimes.
Did we lose all our ability to dream though as we became adults? I think not.
Perhaps, this will be a good year as the world opens up!
The first sign of dawn, The first pink glimmer, The first chirpy bird song, And mornings offer hope.
Would you like to live on a boat and sail forever like we see in ABSURD OR EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE?
Interesting! The ability to imagine and dream I think is one very important human quality that we must not lose.
For real, bro.
Oh yeah! as adults, our ability to dream is subtly stolen from us by our many responsibilities amidst fewer resources. Sadly, a lot of us begin to dream again when we are nearing our graves. But for those of us who manage to dream, it’s a beautiful feel. We seldom get bored. Ha ha!
Haha! Sort of like the expression; when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
That begins with a dream! Yes, indeed a beautiful feel (to dream.)
