Goodbye To 2020~

 He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things 
which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has...

I didn't manage to capture the sunset, but the glow of the sun 

still made for a beautiful afternoon at the beach yesterday. Was

 missing Arvid.  We do everything together and although I like 

my alone time, life is so much better when we are together.

As we say goodbye to 2020, I have to say I am

 grateful for many things.  This may not have been 

the best of years for the all of us. but even so, for Arvid,

 Sniff and I it has not been the worst either.

2020 brought us to Puerto Rico.  The place we have

 called home for the last four months.  The place that was

 my childhood home.  Most surprisingly was that Arvid 

fell in love with the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.

  That I never expected.  I knew he liked it, but I 

didn't think he would consider it a place we could 

call home.  For that I am most happy and grateful. 

Sniff and I will be welcoming 2021 with my 

sister Nirvana, Kimsy and J.  Arvid will be welcoming the

 New Year in Florida.  To all may 2021 be everything 2020 

was not.  For all of us this has been a very challenging year, and 

we all look forward to  better times with the coming year.

Good riddance to 2020, welcome 2021.  Cheers to 

better days to come for all of us.  Goodbye 2020,

 you will not be missed one tiny bit.

It’s a funny thing about life, once you begin to take

 note of the things you are grateful for, you begin

 to lose sight of the things that you lack...

Wednesday In Chicago ~

Be kind to yourself, then let your kindness fill the world...

I have already had my coffee.  Fed and
brushed Sniff, who's already back in bed
with his dada.  Those two love their sleep.

I also saw some of the sunrise.  I love being awake early.  

Sometimes I would like to sleep in a bit longer, but

 for some reason it does not happen anymore.

The new day has already started and here in Chicago

 it is looking better than it did yesterday.  Suddenly it's blue 

skies again.  For at least today it's summer again. 

 Looking forward to what the day holds.

Good morning all.  Wishing you
all warm and sunny days as well.

At the end of the day I am thankful that
 my blessing are bigger than my problems...
