Daily Affirmations: Gratitude

I look around me and see a life filled with so many blessings great and small and I am grateful for each and every one. Every day I give thanks for all the blessings in my life and I embrace the lessons as well, with gratitude, because I recognize that lessons too, are blessings. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

Sandy Point and Hurricane Sandy

When I was a small child, my family camped on this beach every summer for a few years. Sandy Point State Reservation, is at the southern tip of Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, camping has been banned there now for decades.

When I was there a week ago, we were already experiencing extremely high tides. With Hurricane Sandy heading up the East Coast poised to possibly converge with a Nor’easter, I anticipate the hide tides at Sandy Point, and the entire area to be even higher than we’ve seen here in the last week.

The storm could also effect voting in the areas hard hit, which might just impact election results.

I love a good storm… but my hope is Sandy calms down before she strikes my area.
