A Few Words

A Few Words

If you have made it this far to be here right now, welcome aboard Nautical Miles. Perhaps you are an acquaintance, a friend, or somebody who just happened to drop by this way. I’m glad you did.

Forest Gump said “my momma always said, life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” That’s how my journey has been, a box of wonderfully tasting chocolates.

I spent a large part of my growing years wedged in a labyrinth of meanderings due to Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 12. Oh gosh what has happened?? Isn’t it a tad too early in life to be visited by grandma and grandpa’s disease. Well it’s no longer juvenile but grand ol’ Rheumatoid Arthritis now.

Regardless, for some amazing and unknown reason, I found myself discovering and occupying the unexpected niche in my lives journey. Just like how momma Gump said; “You have to do the best with what God gave you”….and so it was.

Hoping you will enjoy the bits and pieces of lives colourful and assorted fabric straight from the heart.

The Little Things In Life


Life’s made up of little things,
no great sacrifice or duty,
but smiles and many a cheerful word
fill up our lives with beauty.
The heartaches, as they come and go,
are but blessings in disguises,
for time will turn the pages o’er
and show us great surprises.
~Mary R. Hartman~

A poem close to my heart, as it reminds me of the small wonders that made up my life.

When was the last time we counted our blessings? When was the last time we did something small but meaningful for our family, friends or loved ones?

In our quest for chasing the big things, let us not forget the small ones that could make a great difference in our lives.
