Dam Sunday Visiting

Copyright 2015 AJ Horton

Happy Sunday to you.  It's been a long time since I went dam visiting so I thought today would be a good day.  This is, I believe, called the Great Falls Dam.  It dams the Catawba River  between Lancaster and Great Falls, South Carolina.  Although there's no public access to this  area, people have made paths from the road so they could fish.  I've actually met people who have spent the night under the Tom G. Mangum Bridge that crosses the Catawba at this point.  However, people  seem to trash the area a bit much for my taste.  I fear that the more people choose to leave their trash on the ground instead of being responsible and taking it with them will ruin not only the beauty of this area, but will ruin it for the rest of us who enjoy this area.  One day the "powers that be" may be sick of the disrespect some have for this area and close it to the public.

I hope you had a sensational Sunday.  I hope you remember to place your trash in appropriate containers and keep our great land beautiful  Thank you for looking today.  See you tomorrow.

Friday Peace and Blessings

Hello Friday!  I am starting this day with gratitude as the sun comes up over Friday.  Whenever I find myself at the Catawba River Dam, Fort Mill, SC  access site I feel peace.  This picture, to me, symbolizes all that the day may offer;  a golden glow that warms; a smooth surface to navigate; and a knowing that there are obstacles along the way.  That light from above will allow me to see  how to navigate the way around, through or over those obstacles.  All I need to do is keep my mind open and use my brain and brawn a little bit; sometimes a lot.   It is hard, there's a lot of work getting around all those obstacles, but when you do, when you look back and see all that you've been through and the sun is still shining, and you're so tired, you still feel energized and grateful and pleased with your accomplishments!    And you'll know that you can deal with future obstacles as well.

 

So on this Friday I wish for you peace and blessings and the insight you need to navigate through all the obstacles you may face on your journey through the day.  Keep a good attitude with gratitude.  You know you'll be rewarded in the end.  Thanks for looking. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.  See you tomorrow.
