DexNow's Mystic lifestyle fosters an Optimistic Outlook
- Pessimism is a waste of time...

Mystic CT is a place for finding peace and joy from simple pleasures in later life.
As we charge
through business often we miss the opportunity to refresh our selves with the natural wealth surrounding us.
DexTime.com is for selecting ways to use a new this passage for our own pleasures. Mystic is a vehicle for doing both.
These web sites are linked together. The thread of Nature is woven in all of them.
The subjects should be considered as a set of "Ralph & Dexter separate Creative Personalities as shown through nature eBooks".
These separate attitudes and creative personalities allow for a wide range of topics for exploration and presentation.
Mental balance is maintained from the creative use of optimistic research and writings in spite of the negative vibrations surrounding our world.
Just look at the challenges shown within the art picture activity above.

The Mystic River offers super local Views from life


Amstad built in Mystic Seaport


Stonington Light House

God's natural creations are made as beautiful images each made by him for all of us. Yearly nature verifies there is a God - what, why or who else would create  this annual life renewal shown to us. Why must we seem to fight each other for freedom, land or personal ideals. Survival does not justify each of us taking more than an individual needs for living. Sharing is a natural instinct killing and fighting is not a natural statement for life. Nature is the Religion dna built within all men and women - equally.

Mystic River Bridge and the ship Argia passing - select pix for more - raise Bridge

When the bridge raises stop and let the ships pass.
When we moved to Mystic the river bridge in the middle of town slowed down the pace of our lives, since every hour people there are waiting for others to pass. Just by the stopping of time while it was raised we had a piece of time to ponder as an alternative to road rage. Time is relative as you move through life. You have more time to reflect and less time to learn what you do not know. The Pennsylvania Dutch have a saying "too old you get smart".  So we will press on, listening to the voices of ancestry from our past, with the time remaining.


 

Dexter Creative
Everybody needs an outlet for creations. This dexnow.com crossroad is a converging of ideas of the past & future..
As children the family refrigerator was a start for publishing or the art gallery to come. The Christmas card has become a graphical communication newsletter of family events last year. Now the internet and messengers present the latest in communications. The internet challenge is how to merge the past family history and ancestry into a meaningful and interesting continuum for the future generations as an ongoing diary or story. I call these stories our FamilyCousin.com eBooks. My Web Sites are random eBook walks with ideas in creative time.

Music stimulates the creative side of life. Every now and then a writer makes the listener think and feel release of emotions buried deep within. Bob Dylan's "Thunder Mountain" recently did this with me. Listen below...go ahead and make some of Dexter's Chili or Chowder.
