The Hoodie

Funny how one fond memory can stimulate me to write a blog!

This one is about a recent trip from my boat to see my daughter on the other side of the country. We were shopping around and when we were done realized we had bought the exact same hoodie. I thought it was a hilarious example of how we rub off on our kids. She took it as we were going to look like tourists! Or worse, a father and daughter couple! So over here I wear it a lot. And people here ask me about the place I got it. Starts lot of conversations and interest But yea, over there I looked like a tourist, and I was.

We can go far away to change ourselves into a different version of who we are, to escape whatever we’re leaving behind. More often than not we re-discover who we are and feel better, but ultimately, the same. The same old hoodie in a different place!

Wishing you fair winds and following seas.
