rhode island


Here's a few pictures from my recent trip to Rhode Island,
the place where I grew up. 


It has been a treat to introduce my son to
some of the things I enjoyed as a kid.


Plus, I just love being surrounded by nature.


Such a great place for gathering story ideas!

optimism

Being optimistic is a lot like brushing your teeth. Doing it everyday takes effort, but the payoff is a really good, genuine smile.
