On The River: Waiting for Spring

Mother Nature played a joke on most of New England today: Snow.

I was hoping that we’d be spared here near the mouth of the Merrimack River and only have rain. No such luck. I went outside last night briefly at about 11:00 pm and there was a light blanket of snow on the ground. At 7:00 am I awoke to a power outage. With all the snow storms we had all winter, there was not one outage. Now it happens. Thankfully the power was back on within a couple of hours.

Tomorrow we should see some sun and warmer temperatures here on the river while we’re waiting for spring. We need more lovely days like this for the trees to start budding and the spring flowers to burst out of their winter cover and shine in the sun:

Daily Affirmations: There Are Always Choices

Some days it is just too easy to get hung up on a negative thought pattern, usually because of some perceived  problem or issue. When that happens it’s time to replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

“In life there are always choices. I choose to release the negative thoughts of the day and replace them with positive thoughts.” ~~ Pamela Leavey

When we choose to see things differently, things will change.

Procrastination is a biggie for me. I am always procrastinating and it’s a hard habit to break. I’m working on my procrastination list little by little right now. And I still have to re-mind myself sometimes:
