That Wonderful Time Of The Year ~

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air...

Nothing better than evening strolls along Las Olas Blvd

 at Christmastime.  The lights, the people, the festivities, and

 the entertainment are quite fascinating, and while Arvid 

enjoys something he likes, I also enjoy what

 I like.  Makes for two happy people.

Arvid and I had a great time just walking around
 and checking out the Christmas festivities.  I have to
admit that I love it more than Arvid, but he does like the
walks just as much.  The walks are relaxing he says.

Yesterday we had a trip to Miami.  We took some
 good friends to the airport, and after that Arvid
and I decided to spend a little time and enjoy
a nice little lunch by the water.  Was good.

Even though Miami is under an hour for us to get to,
 we don't go there too often, so when we do go I really enjoy it.
  Miami has a different vibe.  I love living in Fort Lauderdale,
and at the same time I do enjoy day trip to Miami.

Arvid and I worked in the morning and spent a
relaxing time afterward just enjoying the weather,
good food, drinks and people watching.  The simple
 things in life, these are always the very best.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day.  Let's not forget
that you can't live a positive life with a negative mind.

Strong women aren't simply born.  They are
 made by the storms they walk through...

It Has Been A Good Day ~

Take time to make your soul happy...

What started out as a beautiful sunny day ended up into

 a stormy wet day, but all was not lost.  The rain washed

 away the dirt and made everything look so much better. 

 My plants got watered and I never had to go outside.

  Good thing that because every time I step foot 

outside it seems like I get stung by something. Today 

I was saved from that.  Happy day indeed.

Summertime.  Means we have none of our regular TV

 shows on.  Arvid is sort of not knowing what to do.  Good

 thing though, he can watch just about anything

 and still be happy.  Just a happy man.

Tourist season is in full swing.  Today when we went

 to lunch the restaurant was parked and extremely noisy. 

 Neither Arvid nor I like to eat when there is a bunch of people

 yakking away all the time.  Too loud and very annoying. 

On my way to Home Depot to buy stuff for the hotel,

 I got soaking wet.  Did not help that on this day

 I choose to wear one of my "better" shoes.  

Should just stick to the clunky ones from now on. 

 The good thing is that here in Branson is does 

 not rain all summer long as it does in Florida.  

Soon time to call it a day for us.  Logging off and wishing 

everyone a peaceful evening and pleasant dreams.

Happiness isn't about getting what you want all the time.

It's about loving what you have and being grateful for it...
