Friday Vibes ~

Sometimes it takes a wrong turn

 to get you to the right place...

My blog format has changed, and I

 am not used to it.  It changed overnight.  

Not happy, but let's see how it goes.

Sniff and I have been awake since 3am.  Of 

course now we are both exhausted.  Sniff 

has been sleeping again for hours. 

 He woke up when Arvid did, ate and right 

back to sleep.  I do not have that luxury 💤😴, 

but who knows?  Maybe I will fall asleep 

while Arvid watches a soccer ⚽game. 

 Nothing like TV to put me to sleep.

Not our typical Friday, but beautiful 👌

nonetheless.  Balcony time is still a big part

 of our mornings, and now evenings. 

The weekend begins.  For us it's still stay 

at home, mask up and social distancing.  Looking

 forward to the day we will be living out and

 about again.  The way it used to be 🙏.

Hello Friday.  Let's have an amazing day.

I feel like I am already tired tomorrow...

Getting Settled In Again ~

For one minute, walk outside, stand there, in silence,

look up at the sky, and contemplate how amazing life is...

Back in Florida.  We are supposed to have a more 

relaxing lifestyle.  So far not happening.  Life is rush,

 rush, rush.  Arvid has a bad case of road rage as well.  

Says it’s not serious, but when I see the way 

he acts, seriously I don’t think it’s a joke.

Sniff is getting used to his Florida home again. 

 He has found his own spots to hang out in.  He’s 

eating good again, and running around like a maniac. 

 Good to see him feeling at home.  He's a happy boy.

I’m still adjusting.  I find myself getting angry a lot 

for no real reason.  Arvid said I have to just let go and forget. 

 I know he’s right, but the difference between him and I is that it takes

 longer for me.  When he walks away from something it’s already 

forgotten.  Does not matter what or who.   Sometimes I feel

 as if he has no feelings or attachments to anything or anyone.  

Well not true.  He has attachments to Brutus, and it

 shows in the many pictures he has of Brutus in his office. 

 That’s his saving grace for me.  Arvid loves

 Brutus and it shows all the time.

Everyone who meets Sniff loves him immediately. 

 And Sniff being over friendly loves them as well.  He greets 

everyone at the door.  We love our Sniff Sniff.

Our days are busy right now. Still getting organized. 

Arvid has tons of papers to organize.  Keeps him busy all 

the time.  Guess it's better than being idle.

Not having lived here in almost 2 years 
everything is dusty, and sticky.  Everything
 needs to be cleaned several times. So even
 when you think you're getting there,
 you start all over again.

We enjoy the boats, the swaying of the palm trees and the breeze.  

 Life is good.  I may not have all that I want, but I have what I need.

Hope you are also having a good day and feeling grateful

for all of the things we tend to take for granted.

Each day you wake up, you wake up with billions 
around the world but when the sun sets, not all retire.
It is a joyful privilege to note that you are a unique
person among billions of people who wake up 
each day to walk on the surface of the earth.
 It is a noble responsibility to note that you
 have to use this privilege effectively...

Wednesday ~

I've got a peaceful, easy feeling. 

Life does not have to be perfect to be beautiful...

All quiet at Almost Home.  Many of our tenants just come to the office

 and talk to me, and every single one mentions how peaceful and quiet it is. 

 I am so happy about that.  I am extremely cautious and selective of who I take in.

  Having a well run place that is also peaceful and quiet is our goal.

76 Inn is also quiet, but like I said before; it being directly on the Strip makes

 it "alive"  A better location for the young ones.  Always something to do.  Restaurants

 and shows all nearby.  Arvid likes "his" hotel and I like "mine"  Both happy.

Yesterday it rained quite a lot in the early morning.  The temperatures were 

cooler during the morning hours, but rapidly warmed up.  I love it this way.  

Not hot.  Not cold just the right combination to keep one comfortable.

  Unfortunately, cold for pool opening as of right now. 

More storms are predicted, but hopefully that will not be the case. 

 Sniff is back to eating.  Happy about that.  He snuggles up really close to 

me in the mornings.  Just too cute for words.  Sniff knows when I am 

sad and is always there by my side.  I love Sniff very much.

Looking forward to another good day.  Will also be on the cooler side. 

 Also good for now.  Not much sunshine in view for the day, 

but even so, it's going to be a good one.

Peace comes from feelings of satisfaction when 

working with joy, living with hope, loving with abandonment...
