Negative thoughts creep in my head. It sets the tone for the rest of the day. These little "movies" that I create in my head, anger, sadden, or frustrate me.
I walk out of my cabin on the deck of my ship and see every "fault" that should be addressed. Chipped paint. Tattered sails.
Suddenly, a porpoise pops his nose above the water to greet me. And I laugh.
I study his beauty. His strength. His joy.
When he disappears beneath the surface I find I'm smiling. When I look back at the ship, the paint doesn't seem so bad. The sails not so tattered.
Negative thoughts are an addiction. It is an ongoing chore to stop them. But when I do - it literally becomes smoother sailing.
