The Day Before Christmas ~

 When I miss you I remember we are under
 the same sky looking at the same moon...

Kimsy texted me yesterday.  She said, "I miss

 you so much.  No one to hangout with anymore."  I 

told Arvid and he said, "we miss them too and we 

also don't have anyone to hangout with either."

We bonded so much during the pandemic.  And I 

miss them so very much.  Kimsy 💕 is caring, loving,

 and considerate and so much more.  She made every 

moment we spent together more memorable.  Both her

 and Nirvana, my sister.  And I miss them so so much.

As the days go by since leaving PR 😢 I still 

anxiously await any news from "my" kitties" It

 makes me happy to know that they are alive, and at 

least some of them are getting some foodies everyday. 

 I'm sure the others are, but I don't know it for a fact.

Tis the day before Christmas.  Arvid and Sniff are still

 asleep. I think of all the Christmases past, and I am thankful 

for all of them, and for having shared the last 21 of those 

with Arvid, and look forward to so many more together.

  I am never sure where our lives will take us.  One 

thing I am sure of is that together we can do anything we 

set our minds on. Our journey is a continuous one, and

 together with Sniff we are making memorable memories.

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas Eve.  

Enjoy with your loved ones.  Many today will be

 spending it all alone, so if you have the opportunity

 to brighten their day please do.  Kindness

 is a gift everyone can afford to give.

How do we change the world?

  One random act of kindness at a time

Home For Now ~

The first step towards getting somewhere is to

 decide you're not going to stay where you are...

Imagine seeing this everyday.  Have to say life has

 been good to us, and for that I am always grateful.

The views are beautiful and I know that we will enjoy our stay here.

We are now on island time and we are loving it. 

 The balcony will become one of our favorite spots.

I never imagined coming back to Puerto Rico.  

It was where I first encountered people with the 

biggest of hearts.  I know times are different,

 but kindness does not usually disappear.

From our now home to yours.  Happy day to all.

And once again a new chapter in our lives begin.  

Since none of us knows what the future holds, the idea

 of new beginnings can feel terrifying at times. However, if

 you focus on that which is optimistic and encouraging,

 starting afresh can be an exciting time.  Here is to another 

adventure in the lives of Nadiya, Arvid and Sniff.

Hoping today is the day Sniff finally gets to rest.
That would make this day the perfect day. 😍

It’s never too late to become who you want to be.

 I hope you live a life that you’re proud of, and

 if you find that you’re not, I hope you 

have the strength to start over...
