A Feel Good Day ~

Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy.
 There's going to be stress in life, but it's your 
choice whether you let it affect you or not...

Fort Lauderdale's skyline.  This was not taken

 by me, but it's just so pretty that I had to share it.

The one below was taken by me yesterday at Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Arvid and I were there for some shopping and lunch.  Arvid was the

 one shopping. When Arvid buys, he buys one of each color. 

I enjoyed walking around.  It's been 2 years since I last 

went to Sawgrass.  Many more stores than when I was last there. 

 It was pretty because when it got dark all the palm 

trees were lit up with pretty lights. Loved it.

Yesterday we also went to one of Arvid's colleagues'

 home and though we have been there before, it still amazes me.

 His home is a haven for exotic animals.  We were once again treated

 to a tour of some of it. I fell in love with the baby Lemur.

We saw many more exotic animals.  I was fascinated
and would love to visit soon again.  Yesterday was another
 beautiful day.  In between work we also found time
 to do some fun stuff.  The best way to go.

Looking forward to another fun filled day today.

To all a very good day.  Let's not forget that the things
 we take for granted someone else is praying for.

Some people will only be as wise as their environment 
allows them to be. Hint: Change your environment!  You don't
have to tell me what your limits are when the decisions
 you make, your actions and body language says it all...

Last Friday...

You know what they say about Chicago. 

If you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes...

Sadly our days are now numbered here in the Windy City.  This is our last 

Friday until next summer.  Bittersweet.  Glad to be going back to the

 Sunshine State, but also sad to be leaving.

Not exactly sure what the day hods for us as yet, but whatever it 

is I am sure Arvid and I will have a good time.

Here is Chicago our days are relaxing and stress free.  I know as soon as 

we get back home to Florida it will be crazy and hectic again.

Our time here in Chicago has been pretty hectic as well.  We spent many of the 

days cleaning and fixing up our apartment making it more homey, cosy and comfy for us.

Chicago has one of the most unpredictable of weathers.  We have had many beautiful 

warm and sunny days.  We have also had  lots of rain and fog.  All together it has been good.

 

As always it has been a summer of creating memories and moments that we will

always remember.  makes looking forward to next year even more appealing.  Can't wait.

Happy Friday everyone.  Remember, life is a beautiful collage 

of priceless moments and memories, which when pieced all 

together creates a unique treasured masterpiece.

We didn't realize we were making memories

we just knew we were having fun..
