“Being is the practice of gratitude and compassion. I am alive only in the degree that I am moved by the tidal rhythm of receiving and giving. I am a gossamer curtain hanging in a window separating time and eternity, blowing back and forth in the everlasting breeze.” ~~ Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God

“When we say that ecstasy is like the drop melting back into the ocean, it must be made clear that we are the drop and the ocean at the same time, just on different levels.” ~ The Path To Love – Deepak Chopra

Get rid of them… Toss those negatives thoughts out in the trash… You are the master of your mind, turn your negative thoughts around to positive thoughts. Live your life to the fullest…
“Throw all negative thoughts out of your mental constructions. Lose all pessimism. Release all doubts. Discipline your mind to hold fast to the original creative thought.” ~ Neale Donald Walsch – Conversations With God, Book 1

The city of Newburyport is looking to bring Tall Ships to shore for a four day festival in 2012:
They rose and fell on the swells of the world’s oceans en route to exotic ports of call, selling spices or goods from their ports of origin.
Now, some of those tall ships, which have been captivating spectators across the globe, may make their way next year to Newburyport, a city with a rich maritime history of its own.
The Newburyport Daily News reports:
The mission of the 2012 Merrimack River Maritime Festival will be to “recognize, celebrate and preserve the maritime heritage of Merrimack River basin while engaging local businesses in an opportunity to generate economic activity and visitor spending, all while showcasing the allure of Greater Newburyport as an iconic maritime regional destination,” Ormond said.
The four-day festival would coincide with the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, offering a host of opportunities to spotlight local history from the period, Ormond said. She expects local museums, such as the Custom House Maritime Museum and Historical Society of Old Newbury in Newburyport, as well as historical and marine organizations in Amesbury and Salisbury that have deep roots in the area’s rich maritime past, to be involved.
This is fabulous. Anyone who grew up in the Newburyport area is well aware of our longtime maritime history. Among Newburyport’s maritime history is the fact that clipper ships were built in the area including the Dreadnought, and the it is the birthplace of the U.S. Coast Guard.
