TODAY'S PHOTO -
A dose of energy for your day. The Atlantic Ocean in Boynton Beach, FL, early one morning last winter.

The responses to my references yesterday to water and positive and negative ions had me search my files for ocean pictures. I had many with grandchildren in them, most with very few waves, AND I wanted the ocean experience to be yours alone; thus this view. I will also be on the lookout for ones with waves that you can ride.

READER COMMENTS ON YESTERDAY'S ISSUE - Issue 60

After reading the following two responses, I realized that sometime within the next week Sam and I definitely have to take the 20 minute ride to the ocean, walk on the beach and, if warm enough, go into the ocean. Although we've walked there, we have not actually been in the ocean for at least three years.

One reader sent the following. She was unable to identify the writer and I felt it important to include anyway. It's certain to make a difference for me.

"Regarding water and ions, this hangs both over my desk at work and my desk at home. I firmly believe in the healing power of water, waves and sand.

Once a year--like migrating salmon
All humans should force their way into the sea
And walk humbly into the water.
They should let the WAVES splash them,
And the SAND suck from under their feet
They should do this
Young or old, rich or poor, hale or frail
For it will more greatly improve the mind than
Any treatment devised by any branch of medicine."


and, interestingly, another dental office experience was shared:

"How very true about water. I never knew these facts you presented, but I have always had a sense of calm around water. I lived in Florida for about 27 years and the ocean was always the place I went to for calm, whether in my mind or for real.

I also go to the ocean when I'm at the dentist's. It's funny, I get so calm the dentist actually always asks me if I'm ok. I totally detach from the dentist's chair and am at the ocean. I miss the water. I'm here in Colorado now and the mountains are fine, but I love the ocean and all water. In fact, many times I'll leave my faucet running just to hear water. And yes, this picture is very relaxing and peaceful. Maybe it's time to move back to Florida."

Thanks so much to two of you, as well as the others of you who responded, for your contribution to me, as well as to our readers!
