I love the ocean; the ins and outs of the tides are like the emotions one may feel as we live our daily lives--it is great if we could keep them calm and and not too rough; life, however, has a way of roughing up the waters--when I make it a point to start my day with meditation and with positive intent, a happy attitude (singing in the shower helps alot--my kitty Lucy may not be too happy to hear it) then, whatever may happen in my day is ok...bad or good, I can deal with it better because I took the time to get it on the right track..:)
