A Good Day....

If you're happy, if you're feeling good, then nothing else matters.
Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic...


I am having a really good day so far.  started out with Arvid watching the Soccer match between Bayer Munich and Dortmund.  As usual Arvid and I bet a dollar on either team.  This time Arvid was the first to go so he choose Bayer Munich as the winner.

Not even 10m minutes into the game I get a text from our niece Danielle.  Goes like this:
"tell uncle Arvid I bet him a dollar on Dortmund"

I read the text to Arvid and he says, "tell her it's game on"
Back and forth we go with textes when finally both Danielle and I saw we lost the bet.
She says to him, "don't let one little win get to your head"


He said to her as he is still laughing, "bring lots of money this year to Chicago
because I feel like I will be winning lots of bets with you".
Goes this way for a while.  All of us laughing and having a good time.

Danielle and I lost the bet, but it sure was fun to "torture" Arvid for a bit.
Yes, simple things can bring so much pleasure.  Also Brutus' paw is looking a tiny bit less 
swollen, so we are happy.

look carefully and you see Arvid checking out the car
Wishing you all a good day.  It's Sunday and it's our favorite day.
With a little music last night, we are now ready for a relaxing Sunday.
We get to spend it together, doing something we both enjoy.
Remember it's the little tings in life that make a difference!

Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.  
Life is only as good as you decide to make it.  
So stand up be bold, and don't let everyone else define it...
