It’s another rainy today again and I’m dreaming of sights like this on the river:
It won’t be long now before the boats start going in the water…

The power of words:
“Everything you say is a thought expressed. It is creative and sends forth creative energy into the universe. Words are more dynamic (thus, some might say more creative) than thought, because words are a different level of vibration from thought. They disrupt (change, alter, affect) the universe with greater impact.” ~~ Neale Donald Walsch: Conversations With God (Book 1)
Words can heal or wound. Words can paint a beautiful picture in your mind or a terrifying visual. Words make us pause to think about them. Words can be a tool, a weapon or a balm for the soul. Words inspire…
Keeping a positive outlook isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Even the most spiritual and grounded among us needs to stop and take time to re-mind ourselves:
I will put forth a positive outlook on all that I do this day. I will share that outlook with all whom I greet this day. I will be grateful for all of the blessings in my life this day, and I will seek to remember how precious each moment of every day is. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey
Let this day be filled with light for all…

“You must first see yourself as worthy before you can see another as worthy.” ~~ Neale Donald Walsch – Conversations With God, Book 1
It’s rainy and gray on the river today and apparently there will be more of that for the next couple of days… There will be no cleaning up the front flower garden until the rain stops.
I’m excited to share that I received a request from a friend today to use one of my photos of a small boat on the river for the newsletter of Newburyport’s American Yatch Club. I’ll have a PDF copy of the newsletter in a few days and will upload that so that readers can see the photo.
In the meantime I’m waiting patiently as many are for Spring to arrive full force. The last of snow piled up from the snow plow has finally melted down in the back yard and I’m anxious to till the vegetable garden plot and enlarge it from last year’s late planting when I moved into my river view apartment.
For now I’ll just watch the birds here in the back yard and on the river and dream of sunny days to come.

A little local info… The Plum Island River connects the Parker River to the Merrimack River at the mouth of the Merrimack and it separates Plum Island from the mainland. Plum Island is the home of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which is a prime birding location.
“Only I can discover my spirit and make myself free. Only I can take the existential leap, make the decision that carries me beyond what I was yesterday (and what every expert would predict I would be tomorrow) and do a new thing.” ~ Sam Keen: Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening The Spirit In Everyday Life
At a time when I was struggling to find myself and answers, Hymns to an Unknown God was there for me, providing inspiration, solace and plenty of food for thought.
