Thoughts To Ponder… The Science of Happiness
by Jenny Chissus
I had to share this – happiness, is not just a choice, but it is determined by what we focus on and how we appreciate who we are now, and how grateful we are for all the great people we are surrounded by each day, the beautiful city we live in, the health of our families, etc.

Who or what are YOU grateful for? Write a letter…below is mine.
I am grateful that we have had the wonderful opportunity to raise our family in the community of Seldovia.
LOVE COASTAL LIVING: Living in Fairbanks, I always knew that it wasn’t a long-term situation. I have always been a “water baby” in the sense that I appreciate being close to the ocean, and rarely feel “right” when far from the water and salty sea air, and my husband feels the same. Growing up on Bainbridge Island, with the Puget Sound at our front yard, building sand and seaweed castles with my friends, digging up gouey ducks and the annual spring time “putting out the raft” for our swimming Continue Reading
News on the Tustumena
received by the City of Seldovia – September 9
Dear Elected Official,
Work on the Tustumena is continuing at Seward Ship’s Drydock. Replacement of undersize plate is proceeding, along with other welding, painting, insulating, and electrical work. The planned launch date is still September 20, with sea trials and other in-water work to take place the remainder of September and the beginning of October. AMHS is currently in the process of revising online schedules to reflect the Kennicott, in place of the Tustumena, operating in Southwest Alaska from October 1-15. Travelers with existing reservations will be rebooked in the next two days, and online booking of the Kennicott will be available soon after.
Additionally, the department is soliciting proposals from professional naval architect firms for the design of the Tustumena replacement vessel. We should have the design firm beginning preliminary design work later this year and look forward to working with the communities to help us develop the features that meet their needs.

Seldovia’s Tidepool Cafe makes Headlines in Seattle
Sometimes, we get a little spoiled. We take for granted many of the wonderful aspects of life in Seldovia. The little things. Tranquil walks on a beach with only a yellow lab as companion, lazy Sunday afternoons picking blueberries and salmonberries by the side of the road with your husband, witnessing the magic of chainsaw art in an up close and personal (and noisy) way – or the guaranteed wonderful flavors that we enjoy at our local eatery – the Tidepool Cafe!
It is a reminder to see a review from a visitor – and the inspiration to recreate a special meal at home – once gone from our waterfront community. The tastes, the beauty and the experience of Seldovia do stay with you when you leave our city!
We are the lucky ones – we live here! Thanks Sara for providing such a great and constant source of culinary pleasure for visitors and locals alike!
