Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it's too late
Arvid and I have decided to live for today and enjoy our lives to the fullest as if it were our last day here. We have been doing this for a while but since getting to Chicago we have been so relaxed and happy and we have realized that we do not need all the things we have in Florida to make us happy. There we have the huge apartment....downtown Las Olas with every amenity you can think of. Aside from the hot tub we hardly use any of them.
We are located on Las Olas yet we hardly ever stroll along Las Olas Blvd. We love the location and the convenience of everything but I have always realized that more is not always better.....
Here in Chicago we have a much smaller apartment. Much less of a view yet we find ourselves completely happy and relaxed. We have no car, we walk everywhere we want to go to and we are really loving it.
We are located of course in the best location even if I say so. Everything is within a few minutes walking distance. For being downtown there is so much greenery and beautiful parks everywhere. Just look at the courtyard of this bank building....
We will of course have to one day return to Florida...sigh but for now we are just having the time of our lives.....even Brutus is so relaxed. Just look at him....
To everyone out there all I can say is no matter what enjoy life and live it to the fullest......
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it
until next time...
