Wednesday August 23rd~

Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up 

of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently.

 And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, 

the big ones don't really mean anything...

 No more makeshift covers for my beverages when we are out.  

I now have a "legitimate" cover.  No more flying bugs in my drinks.  

Yes, it's a happy day and can't wait to try out my new gadget 😂

On Monday I received my love box filled with goodies from my sister

 Narima, the baker in the family.  Last week she catered a wedding for 100 

people.  Huge success.  So much so that in October she will be catering an even

 bigger wedding party.  Just a little over 200 guests.  Yikes.  She's busy, busy.

Another early morning for me.  Sniff has taken up my spot on 

the sofa, which means I have to find another spot to sit up and wait

 for morning to come.  Hopefully doze off in between as well.

We left him sleeping there last night and the previous nights,

 now he does not want to move over and make room for me.

My allergies are really bad.  If they are just allergies.  At this stage

 not sure what to do.  I am doing good a few hours in the day.  Yes, I

 sneeze, but at nights it's an entire different story.  Because I am awake

 so early, I am exhausted during the day.  Not a good scenario 😏.

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the 

scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss 

the sense of where you are going and why...

Wednesday February 15th ~

 Time is so important. 'so spend time doing something that you love.

 ' make the most of it and Let the good times roll in your existence...

Arvid and I are still discovering new places in our surroundings, 

and liking them very much.  On Sunday we went to a place 

called Rumrunners in Cape Coral.  Twenty minutes from us.

It was a very windy day but we sat in the sun with sweaters on; 

it was not so bad after all.  It's what Arvid said a typical summer

 day in Norway 🌍was like.  We thought it was a bit chilly 😂

I had on my hoodie but was still a bit cold.  Even 

with the sun the wind blowing like crazy.  Food was 

very good and everyone was extra nice.  

There is even a little beach and some boat rentals.  Something to look into.

Good morning everyone.  Another very nice day awaits us.  

Life is such a rolling coaster, either you roll with it willingly

 or it roll you unwillingly, but you must roll either way...
