A Joyful Noise

happy new year

Cleansing tides

January 1, 2012 by Melodye Shore
To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be . ~Rachel Carlson

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I like that today affords me the unstructured opportunity for quiet contemplation…time in which inhale gratitude for life's blessings, and to exhale all that does not serve. It's sunny and warm on the home front, so I might take a walk on the beach. Maybe I'll take a yoga class later on. Time will tell.

I''m excited to learn what 2012 holds in store for me. For you, too! But for now, in this very moment, I want to walk along the sandy beachfront, waving goodbye to the past as the new year drifts in on the tides. Come with me, if you'd like…

P.S. If you haven't yet consulted the Magic 8-ball about your prospects for 2012, here's your chance.
