Enjoying Eleuthera:))

The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom....

Being here in Eleuthera is almost like being in a completely different world.  It is totally quiet for starters...at least where our house is and we like it that way...especially Arvid.  For him this place brings out the best in him.  I also enjoy the peace and quiet we have here .....Arvid and I have more quality time than we do back in Florida..

Where as in Florida we are constantly on the go...hectic, hectic here we take our time and we enjoy each other, we have time to do things we don't normally do back in Florida....like sit out on the deck everyday and just enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea views, the gorgeous sunsets or just sit quiet together with our thoughts.

The only one whose routines remain consistent is Brutus.  No matter where we are be it Florida, Eleuthera or Chicago he is spoilt by us.  We pamper this kitty in a way parents pamper their children....as Arvid is fond of saying "Brutus is more human than he is cat".  Spoiling him is easy because he brings us joy and has made our lives so much better.  Arvid said to my dad that he has learnt so much from Brutus and that Brutus has made him a much more patient and better person.

All I can say is that being here in Eleuthera brings out the best in us...it is as if this island was magic and the minute we arrive everything seems brighter and better.  Arvid even says the food tastes better here.  All I know is that here we are very at ease and very stress free...lots has to do with also the phones and the constant hecticness in Florida...

Here we relax and enjoy the peacefulness of each day...in Florida that's where our work lies so it is probably only fair to say that this is the reason we are always so hectic...We enjoy all our places.  Each is different and has their own special appeal to us....

For now we know a happy life consists in tranquility of mind....lots of that here in Eleuthera.

Every man dies - Not every man really lives...there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.....

until next time...
