Good Time Of The Year ~

The holiday season is the perfect time to reflect on our blessings

and seek out ways to make life better for those around us...

Across the street from Almost Home.  At nights everything

just lights up and the street is transformed.  Christmas is soon here.

No plans for Christmas other than work and work.  No visit to my family this year.

  Bummer, but we chose to do this and knew that our time will be taken

up in this venture.  Good thing is that we have gotten into the rhythm

of it and are now more relaxed about "running a hotel"

Taking a minute to sit and watch the fall colors at Almost Home

Of course there are days when I feel like taking the entire day "off"

but that feeling does not last too long.  I am probably worse than Arvid in that sense.

  He can take time off from his place every so often because he has good people

capable of running and managing the place for him.  I don't and I think

even if I did I wont be happy to leave Almost Home for long.  It's how

I am and I can't change that.  Dad taught us responsibility first.

Both Arvid and I are recovering from the cold, but to be on the safe

side we still take our NyQuil at nights.  No need for a relapse

right now.  Don't have the time.  All good here in Branson.

Sniff has been sleeping very close to me at nights again.  Loving it. 

He is probably cold.  I love the feeling of him tucked into me.  Warm and fuzzy. 

That being said he takes all my covers and for most of the night I am partially

without cove on my back, but I lay still and listen to him and Arvid "snore"

Another week gone by in a flash.  This has been a hectic but extremely good week.
I am a little more relaxed and looking forward to our Sunday outing already.

Wishing you all a good day.  Remember
it's always the little things that make us smile.

Embrace the day.  Life is not the way it is supposed to be. 
It is the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference...
