Monday January 26th~

Each week offers you a new

 canvas—paint it with purpose...

 First he woke up on his warming bed as if

 wondering what is going on and why have I not 

been fed already.  Then he goes to his mat and

 waits for his food.  It happens this way every

 morning.  And so a new week begins.

Start the new week with a fresh perspective, 

focusing on new goals, a positive mindset,

 and, most importantly, taking action.

Bad weather is what most of our friends

 and family are currently experiencing. It’s

 just one big snow storm after another.  I’m

 so worried if they should all lose power. 

My sisters all received a good amount of snow. 

 Last Nina mentioned they had 21 inches in her 

hometown of Pennsylvania.  As of today I do

 not know if they have lost power so far.

Meanwhile here at home, Arvid, Sniff and I 

enjoyed a warm Sunday.  We had a very nice 

outing with outdoor seating. The place was packed, 

food was good as were the drinks.  There was

 also live music.  Could not be any better. 

 Afterwards we walked around the marina a 

little enjoyed the boats and had some entertainment 

watching couples paddle boarding.  Afterwards we came

 home and we went to feed Legacy.  A bit later than

 usual, but she was there. Sitting and patiently

 waiting. She’s getting friendlier every day. 

The new week so far does not look too

 busy, but if things go the way we want them

 to it will get busy.  For us busy is good. 

To all a good day.  The fog is back.

Every new day begins with possibilities...

Monday January 12th~

Nobody can go back and start a 
new beginning, but anyone can start

 today and make a new ending...

January is going by pretty fast.  We are already in 

week two.  So far the year has been pretty good to us. 

Sniff, Arvid and I are healthy and doing good we are 

enjoying life in Florida, at the same time we are looking

 forward to going back to Branson. Branson has a pull

 on us, and we keeping going there again and again.

Yesterday Arvid spent most of the day watching

 soccer. I did some cleaning and went to feed Legacy early

 in the morning and also around 4:30 in the afternoon.

During the morning feed a police car pulled up

 next to me and  the first thing he said 

was "what's the last four digits of your phone

 number.”  I asked why he wanted it and he 

just kept saying I had to give it to him. 

I told him I will not do that and I didn’t. He kept bugging 

for it.  I finally said to him, “tell me what are the last four

 digits of the number that called you”. He did and I said nope

 not me.  He said, “are you sure?”  I told him I know my own

 phone number and continued to take care of Legacy. The 

police officer hung around there and once I was done taking 

care of Legacy I left, but he was still there. Weirdo.

After Arvid’s last game we went out for pizza. 

We (Arvid) also tried the calzone.  Arvid has never had 

a it before.  He was shocked at how big it was.  Neither 

of us were able to finish our calzones. It was good but 

messy to eat.  They made it while we waited we came

 back home did a few things then watched some TV.  One 

of our favorite shows (Landman) streams on Sundays. 

Our family is heartbroken.  Rima and family

 are destroyed.  Today their baby Marley was put

 to sleep. One of the worst heartaches for those 

of us who have pets.  My heart is grieving..

It’s Monday. Get a new perspective. Whatever

 obstacle you’re facing — it’s not permanent...

Monday September 8th~

Your Monday morning thoughts 

set the tone for your whole week...

 Back from our little getaway, but have not had

time to download my pictures as yet.  Coming soon.  

Today starts a new week, and as everyone knows

 when you get back home from a little getaway there

 is always a ton of things to do.  For me right now, 

laundry takes priority.  Sniff loves clean linens.

Looking out the window from our breakfast nook 

I see Charley running up the stairs.  She spent most 

of the day chasing birds and and whatever else she

 can find.  Now she's ready for a little indoor time.

Woke up to a a beautiful moon just waiting for me. 

 I was also happy to see the sunrises in St. Louis 

and in Chicago over the weekend, but happiest 

was when we got back home to our Sniff.

Every morning, you have two choices: continue to 

sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them...
