Sailing Into The Wind

Neither of us had ever seen a sailboat on Lake Norfork before, but this evening we did, and geese too! Notice the geese have the wind at their backs, while the boat sails into the wind.

We have noticed sometimes when we make a choice to do what is best for us, it seems like there are more forces against us, and the appearance is that it is easier to go with the flow than against the flow.

Good example 1: When we got married everyone except Bill's best friend Bud Guess told us to wait and wait and not to get married so soon. We went against the wind and are very happily married.

Good Example 2: When we started our own business, all of Misty's family was telling us that we shouldn't do that. We went against the wind and have had a very successful and fun business together.

Been sailing into the wind lately, or are you one of the geese?
