Good Morning Gloucester

Hi Joey, 

Took this photo yesterday 2/12/24 from the footbridge. Fun to see the house boats all gathered together. 

Thought you might like it. 

Enjoy the afternoon.

Sharing information from the City regarding an update on the trash collection schedule this week.

Framed…

We had not been to Common Crow on Eastern Ave in a LONG time, but I needed a couple of items I thought they might have so we stopped by recently. And once again, I found myself a little gobsmacked by the depth and breadth of the offerings available. The staff was ready to assist with the questions I had and while I did not find exactly what I went in for, I left with a couple of treasures for the apartment. If you haven’t been there, it’s worth a stop even if you don’t think you’re “into” natural organic products. There’s something for almost everyone there.

If you ever thought you might like to try a Cold-Water Plunge- today is the day. The air temp is going to be 50 and the sun is out.  I tell you the benefits are enormous. It’s 10 cups of coffee, strengthens your immune system, a huge calorie burner, releases endorphins and hormones into your body, it’s a mood enhancer that reduces stress and helps with your mindset. It recalibrates your fight-flight mechanism. It releases dopamine. In short, it changes you for the better. “What is the role of dopamine? Dopamine acts on areas of the brain to give you feelings of pleasure, satisfaction and motivation. Dopamine also has a role to play in controlling memory, mood, sleep, learning, concentration, movement and other body functions.”

All you have to do is redefine how you think of cold and think of it as a feeling instead of how you hold the definition in this moment.  It’s a psychological adjustment. In truth, most of us live our lives in our head with gears of “this and that” spinning all the time. But in this activity- you will sense your presence drop right down into your body like a meditation and you will be amazed how your own body acclimates to the change…

The photo is a friend and myself during this week, and you can do it too, it’s worth it!  Acclimate slowly, be kind to yourself even it it means only going into the water up to your waist for the first few days. This is not a storm into the water activity. It’s getting to know yourself in a new surprising way, an exercise in watching who you are… change.

Hello –

 

I have never posted before but was moved to submit a picture of this cairn.  From a distance, it looked like a person doing a yoga pose with upstretched arm.  It was about 5’ tall.  Could I post it?  How?  Thanks,  Cynthia Bjorlie

Inspired by Gloucester's So Salty and the annual Salem's So Sweet chocolate and ice sculpture festival, the goal is to drum up business in downtown Gloucester during a typically slow time of year.https://t.co/Dj2ekcJfdO
