"A ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what a ship was built for." - William H. Shedd. Reflect on this quote in any way you choose.

I like this quote. It's a good Motivational Monday quote. It's encouraging and encourages a person to think about both safety and work. When I think about the safety part, I realize that there isn't any real safety in this world because even a ship in a harbor can be destroyed by a hurricane or a tsunami. People can do their best to make life safe, but accidents, human caused disasters, or natural disasters happen. If we worry about what could happen, we cause ourselves more problems and the things we worry about rarely occur.

One thing I never worry about is moving, which I should. If I worried about moving there's a good chance I'd never have to move again. However, since I don't worry about it I end up moving; I hate moving. Right now my ship is in the process of moving from a two bedroom apartment to a one bedroom. This means getting rid of a bunch of stuff, I haven't had room for since I moved out of the three bedroom house into the studio apartment. I drug it from the studio, to the two bedroom, and now I'm moving to a one bedroom. I have to get rid of the stuff because there isn't enough room for unnecessary stuff in the one bedroom.

It's a beautiful day
to sail away
some place nice and warm.

One thing good about the one bedroom is the air conditioner can blow both cold and hot air. The one in this apartment has only cool air. Cool air is alright for summer, but not for winter. In autumn and winter it gets cold here in Las Vegas. It could have gotten below freezing, I don't know because I haven't checked the temperatures and I don't want to check them. I really don't care to know if the temperature dropped below freezing before winter solstice.
