Feel Good Day...

Being happy never goes out of style.  When someone 

told me I live in a fantasy land I nearly fell off my unicorn...

A picture can express better what words fail to do. 

 Saturday morning at the beach.

No matter what, mornings sure are better when you can feel the sand between your toes 

and the wind on your face. Unfortunately for visitors right now, the week has been "ugly" 

  Windy, dark, and definitely not what one would expect from the Sunshine State.  

Even so, there is always the beach in the mornings.   Serene.  Peaceful.

Yesterday was a good day.  We worked and at the same time we had fun outings.

Soccer is in the picture today and who knows what else.  Right now Sniff is 

sitting right next to me as I write.  Brutus and Shadow are also "here" with me.

Good morning world.  Wishing you all things good today and everyday.

May your day be filled with sunshine, laughter and love.

There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy,

just take the time to do what makes your soul happy...

Weekend...

Happiness is a road trip with a good playlist...

Our weekend is sure looking to be a good one.  In just a few hours we will be seeing 
my parents and having a few days with them.  I love love spending time with my mom 
and day and I am so grateful and happy that Arvid also enjoys it very much.

To know my parents is to love them.  I don't say this just because they are my
 parents, but because it's the way they live their life and the way they have shown 
kindness, compassion, generosity and love to anyone that comes into their lives.

I have been fortunate to have them as my role models in life.  For my parents I 
will do whatever I can, and every opportunity I have to see them I will treasure.  Arvid 
 always makes it possible that these opportunities come along. Many a times
 he plans a "meeting" in North Carolina just so that we can be in the area
 and I can see them.  Arvid shows me what love is in many ways.

Yes, this will be a special weekend.  Many new things to see and do.  Best of all we
 will be seeing and doing them with my mom and dad.  How could it get any better?

To all a very good weekend.  Someone once said:  There are far better 
things ahead than any we leave behind.  I will think positive always.

Weekend is here.  Let's roll baby...
