New Week~ Monday October 28th~

All great achievements require time...

 As the new week begins Arvid and I are ready

 again to tackle working in the house.  It's a brand new home,

 but it needs a little help here and there with installing stuff and 

hanging stull.  Things that are "fun" and not burdensome.

On one of our trips to Downtown I always stop to 

admire one particular mural.  It represents the Eagles 

and the Florida big cats.  It makes me stop and 

think of how cruel humans can be at times.

October is soon over.  We have done quite a bit so far 

this month.  The temperature is getting cooler and it makes 

being in Florida right now the paradise everyone always 

says it is.  No place like Florida when it's winter in other 

places.  Our friends and families are already having very

cold weather.  Whereas we are having beautiful days.

Yesterday we had a very good time with Nina and David.  

The meal was delicious, but the drinks were the clear winner. 

 No one makes cocktails/frozen drinks like Puerto Ricans.  

Being raised in a Latin culture makes you realize that 

nothing compares to Latin food, specifically Puerto Rican food. 

 That and Indian food are my two very favorite cuisines.

To all a very good day.  Embrace the new week with a

 positive mindset and watch your potential unfold.

Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going...

Mornings...

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, 

 to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love...

Good morning everyone.  If you had any doubts as to who ruled,

then this should clear everything up.  At home we catered for Brutus, and we loved it.

The best part of my mornings, it the quietness of it.  Standing out in the balcony

having my coffee and seeing the boats pass by.  At this hour believe it or not quite a few go by.
Since Brutus died the mornings are still beautiful, but my heart is not into it anymore.
Something is missing and no matter what we do our Brutus is never coming back.

It pays to wake up early.  Happy Day to everyone.
My heart is going to take probably forever to heal, but life goes on.

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything.

 So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening...
