Sometimes you just need to go back to square one.

The past few weeks have been interesting… When I started my journey last fall, to move cross country from Los Angeles to Maine, I considered it to be my “mid-life crisis adventure.” I knew I needed a change and it was important to me to be living back on the East Coast where my roots are and to live near family.
Perhaps it is the long hard first winter here, but I think not, there are days when I wonder where the light is at the end of the tunnel. Spring is here, warmer days, longer days, but the sun is not the cure all, for I feel often still that I have not found that missing piece (or peace) I seek.
I’ve been sorting through what I want to do next with my life, like many who have been affected by the economic downturn we are in, I am looking to re-invent myself. Come what may… For now I continue to keep looking…

There’s a natural flow of tides that causes erosion on all beaches. Add to that storms and other natural effects and the landscape of a beach is constantly changing. I can remember as a child camping on Sandy Point on Plum Island (Newburyport, MA) and claiming a rock as my own. Much to my chagrin my rock was no where to be founf the following summer when my family set up camp on the Point for the summer.
While I was down in Newburyport last weekend I drove down to Plum Island because I had heard there had been problems there with homes built on the water front being at risk. The photo below is of the jetty at the Center Beach on Plum Island:
North Shore Magazine has an article about the situation on Plum Island: Last Days of Plum Island?
The romance and tranquility of Plum Island has lured homeowners to its long stretch of open shores for decades. But could the natural forces that spawned an entire community now threaten its very existence?
I’ve always been an ocean person, which is part of the reason I moved from Los Angeles, after nearly years there, back to the East Coast, to Eastport, Maine. (more…)

If you follow the path in the snow between the trees up the hill and then into the clouds, it will lead to the sun:

I’m muddling through my first winter here in Eastport, Maine. There are days I think I am adapting well to the cold after living in Los Angeles for nearly 19 years and then days when I am downright tired of winter. Yep… It can be a drain. We’ve had quite a bit of snow and a lot of drifting in the past 24 hours or so. Beautiful but a lot of work to shovel.
Thankfully I need only to take a short walk or hop in the car and take a drive around town to remind myself why I am here.
Spring in all it’s glory will be welcomed when it arrives!

It’s impossible to not appreciate the pristine beauty of Eastport, Maine. Every day seems like a perpetual vacation. I’ve found it easy to settle in and live life on Maine time… The pace is slower, there’s no need to rush, and it’s a great feeling to not be tied to the consumerism of living in the city.
As often as possible I get out and walk, rain or shine – warm or cold. I’m itching to paint again and looking forward to a new camera to hone my skills. For now I am loving life in Eastport.
