Like most of the liveaboards we know, we keep a small storage shed on land. Mostly it holds off-season clothing, suitcases, parts for boat projects yet to be done, old files and records, books we might never read again but aren't quite ready to get rid of. But also in a box is a complete rainbow of colored pencils, I used them in college and haven't had time since. Today, though, we were sorting through the stuff in the shed to get swimsuits and stuff for our vacation, and I saw the pencils in their silver box. "When?" they asked. "Soon," I thought at them.
I was talking with L. again yesterday, his wife retires in 2 weeks and he follows a month later. He said he's both excited and scared; "me too" I told him. All that leisure is fine as long as it doesn't degenerate into sloth; I think that's our secret fear. But I think of my Someday list and really believe I'll be just fine.

In our home we display markers, colored pencils, pencils and pens - and when they call... we heed them. You'll find sketches scattered about the house - trees with leaves, without, with colored leaves, story books, animals. And, sometimes we manage to get outside with them, and sketch the birds and moss.
We find it to be quite healing and inspiring. I'd wish I'd have done it before kids, and plan to do it after. :) Someday, becomes many days around here.
