Smooth Sailing

Life isn’t always smooth sailing.

But I’ve learned that it’s possible to navigate through even the most treacherous storms if you just learn to forgive the wind and befriend the fickle tides.

Crazy-Slow

Life is crazy. In fact, there are a million ways in which life can dish out craziness. Crazy-busy, crazy-scary, crazy-amazing/wonderful/thrilling...

But all crazy, nonetheless.

Sometimes you just need to slow down. Slow down so you can catch up.

This is where Chris and I go to slow down. From our crazy life. It's where we sit and catch up. With our day, with each other. With ourselves.

Over the clank and clatter of silverware, we share our thoughts, discuss our dreams, and plan our future. The surrounding patrons' humming voices slowly buzz down to nothing, and before long, it's just us. Alone together. Slowing down and catching up.

Crazy-slow.
