Pictures always seem to bring back memories, emotions, and even almost functions as a method of remembering the audio in a scene. The visuals in which we view creates associations whether positive or negative. Today, the motto in my travels was "Hakuna Matata". I was visiting a small town in Wisconsin that is known for its lighthouses, sailboats, and fishing vessels. The town in which I am speaking of is known as Bayfield. My timing when visiting is always horrible due to the tourist season being the Spring, Summer, and early Fall. However, being an Arkansan I go there normally on my Christmas break. The determination to visit the area still seems to stand strong and I visit a few corner shops on my walk near the harbor.

My favorite activity is looking at all the fishing vessels. Some are very large and can fit large crews on them for long days on the deck. My favorite fishing vessel is called the "Hakuna Matata II".  The boat was massive with a varied color schemes of blues, whites, and a terrific font that is colored in a light grey. I spent a few minutes admiring the care in which this captain maintained his boats. Being a deckhand on crew boats in my younger years I gained a sense of pickiness of vessel upkeep much like viewing someone's housecleaning compulsion. The lines..... Sailors and Deckhands never say rope. The lines were thick and well kept even though they had long icicles hanging off them. The line was almost meticulously wrapped around in a perfect figure eight with no sloppiness.

So I begin to digress back to the phrase we are all so familiar with from "The Lion King". I believe it was a pig that explained that it "means no worries" and "is such a wonderful thing". The gears in my mind started to turn as I thought that anyone who cared for something this well had to have some worries. However, my theory was split into pieces when I pondered the upkeep of his boat. Does he worry about the small things in life that cause him the least anxiety? Or perhaps.... Does make mountains out of mole hills?

After deep thought I came to an assumption and perhaps the meaning of the phrase for him was have anxiety over the small worries and dump the large ones in the lake. The captains worries were in my assumption the securing of the lines on his vessel, the meticulous exterior of the ship, and his pride.

I posted this picture today on several of my social networking sites. It fit the theme my day in which I was worried about driving a monstrosity of a truck down a road with belongings in which I have trained very little to feel confident about it. After looking at this photo, I began to smile and think about the captain. In conclusion, my day went very well as I took this lesson with me on the job site.
