Life’s Good 2020
2020 was not a year to remember, exaggerated measures all over the place in terms on hard confinement and else subjects we better leave them to oblivion. Years end in Buenos Aires is literally a gift from Nature & Heaven, Best November anyone can remember, South East perfection every single day almost.
Today I went to the Club, wind was SE around 14knots increasing, left the kids playing tennis as wind was too much for them to continue learn to windsurf, and went out floating planning mode, which for me at least continues to be a joy.
As forecast called for +18 knots I left the A at ease. The session was excellent, warm weather, perfect winds to sail a 5.8m sail.
After a good 3-4hour session the kids were still playing ball hard, I started packing up stuff when they came to help me out. We lock up board and equipment and went back home.
My Wife prepared some special Friday’s pizza and today was Malbec time instead of a good cold beer. We are now watching a movie and I felt relief on being to go out again and sail for some weeks now, being alive its not being enclosed for 7 months, that’s not Life at all.
I need to be outside, we all do. Thinking on how lucky I am, and also thinking on those who doesn’t, but not on a guilty way, on the contrary in terms of the phony extreme progressive type of person with a constant guilty attitude, I thanks for what I have and the opportunities given.
Which are not given by pure luck as say the 90% of Argentines are immigrant descendant. Those who came with nothing before us work hard from thin air to provides their families a constant improvement and better future.
Not exactly what is happening right now where merit and efforts are not appraised, even being reviled by current gov lines. Needless to say these guys are all millionaires out of public “”service””…
So its key to appreciate the opportunities one has, but is more important to give that initial inertia an added value, you are what you worked for.
I have a great family, an even better companion, so I’m again thankful but proud of giving a good use to the life we have.
We all should, you don’t need to feel guilty on others lack of chances, instead you need to take advantage of what you have been given as a start, your education and else, and of the opportunities you have created “for yourself.
That’s the real challenge and ultimate task, in the process you will be fulfilling your own and your ancestors efforts. Nothing is free in this world for people that work hard for it.
Life’s good in the end for 2020. Look forward , take all your chances, life’s pretty short but is a gift from heaven.
We are lucky indeed to be able to sail and enjoy, but never feel guilty, just push harder every day and go for it.
That’s our given & divine duty.
