Monday October 19th~

Everyone stumbles; what 
defines your character is how you 
react and learn after it happens...

 As the new week begins, I just hope that
Arvid does not get the cold. I want us to do
 a few things before leaving Branson, but
 now I am not too sure how that will go.  


Arvid is not feeling well. All I can say is that men 
handle pain differently, and not in a good way.  
Arvid not feeling good means Sniff and I have
 to be tippy toeing around until he's better.


This time however, Arvid is definitely not
 over exaggerating.  He's uncomfortable, achy, 
and if you can't sleep that in itself is a huge
 problem. Arvid is not used to not "being 
well."  Makes it more difficult on him.


Julius Caesar once said, "It is easier
 to find men who will volunteer to die, than
 to find those who are willing to endure pain 
with patience."  From experience, I can
 tell you men do not handle pain well. 


Sniff is always hovering around even 
more so when Arvid is not feeling well. 
 He (Sniff) always knows when we need 
him.  He does not leave Arvid's side.


The week is wide open.  Anything can
 happen it all depends on how Arvid is feeling.
 For the sake of all three of us I really hope 
Arvid feels better soon. We did go to urgent 
care yesterday and he was given some 
medication to help with pain.  As of right
 now, he claims to not have pain.

Arvid and I did have a Sunday outing after all.
 We did not sit outdoors, too cold right now for that, 
but we did enjoy another of our favorite places. 
 The food is always good, never disappoints.


To all a very good week  Make it a good
 one. In the end, it's not the years in your 
life that count. It's the life in your years.


 Fill your days with purpose, deep 
relationships, and meaningful moments rather
 than just counting the passing time...
