Monday September 27th ~

 It’s the possibility of having a dream 
come true that makes life interesting...

Over the weekend we have tried some very

 delicious drinks.  We have tried a new restaurant, 

thanks to my sister Nirvana, Kimsy and J.  

The food was delicious, the drinks amazing, but 

best of all the company.  Could not have been better.  I

 am so very lucky to be able to spend time with my sister

 and Kimsy.  Occasionally J also when he's visiting.

A new week begins.  What it holds I do not know, but I

 am sure that it will be delicious.  The sun is shining and 

not that much rain in the prognosis.  At least as of today.

To all a good start of the week.  Enjoying some quiet 

time before Arvid wakes up.  Peaceful and just perfect.  

Making it even a better day, all of the kitties 

showed up today.  I was so happy to see Baby.  

This is a reminder to you to create your own 

rule book,  and live your life the way you want it...

Beach Life ~ Saturday May 8th

 An ocean breeze puts a mind at ease...

If there is one thing Puerto Ricans enjoy it's 

the beach.  And I say this often because more

 and more as we continue to live and enjoy the

 island it brings back memories of childhood. 

 The beach was always our happy place.  For Puerto 

Ricans it is their happy place, then, now , always.

  Arvid and I go for walks or drive regularly by the 

beach and the one thing you will always see are 

families, couples enjoying some quiet time there. 

 Not always swimming, but always by the water.  

There is something about the water that just relaxes the 

soul and washes away one worries at least while there.

  I have always loved the ocean.  I don't always swim in it,

 but just being close to it, hearing the waves splash

 and seeing the blue waters is always very calming.  

One of the best things of living in the Bahamas 

was that our home was on the water.  I woke up and I

 went walking on the beach everyday.  Loved it.

  Before I met Arvid I lived in Hallandale, Florida. 

 My apartment was on the beach.  I also went walking

 and then swimming every morning and every afternoon. 

 It was a different time in my life, but the one thing that

 still holds true is that being by the beach had a soothing 

effect on my then very broken heart.  It still has the 

same  effect today.  It soothes, calms and inspires me. 

We dream in colors borrowed from the sea...

Happy Wednesday To All ~

There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy...

 We live on the fourth floor, and below us there is an 

orange tabby that comes to visit every evening from 

5 pm every day.  I have been wanting to feed him 

ever since and yesterday was my chance.

Someone from above us lost a blue blanket.  Kitty found 

it and ever since he's a happy little dude.  Comes and naps just 

like a little baby on the blanket.  Above is him looking at us.  

He also enjoys napping on a loose piece of wood,

 part of the fence that has broken off.  He's just happy and 

does not seem to have a care in the world.  

There is an open space and no other residents were

 around so I ran down with food.  Kitty was happy and

 fed at least last night.  Hopefully I can do the same tonight.

We noticed that when he's hungry he usually 

get up and hunts.  We have seen him in action.

My walk for the morning is complete.  Mornings are 

beautiful and that's the same no matter where we are.  I 

love my mornings.  Here it's cool, breezy and I enjoy walking 

surrounded by mountains, palm trees and the Caribbean Sea.

Good morning and a good day to all.

Always end the day with a positive thought.  

No matter how hard things were, tomorrow's

 a fresh opportunity to make it better...🙌

Wednesday July 1st ~ To Better Times

New month, new day, new date, new chapter,

 new page, new wishes.  Welcome July...

As a new month begins one can always hope 

that this virus goes fades away.  One hopes for better 

days ahead.  I wish for a semblance or "normal"  The new 

normal suits me fine, but please come back soon.

July.. summertime is here.  Time to keep 

making memories and living life to the fullest. 

 No matter what is going on right now 🏖.

The heat wave continues, but as someone said, July in 
Florida is God's way of reminding us who's in charge.     

May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we

 please, but as the opportunity to do what is right...

May 1st ~ Better Days Ahead

😻

It's Friday.  Time to make stories for Monday...

Friday.  Plans?  Staying home.  Spending time on the

 balcony.  Having lunch.  Watching TV.  Lots of TV. 

 Walking, having a drink watching the sunset, and 

more TV. This is our life for right now.😏

 Fridays are a little different from what it used to be.  

Truth is everyday and everything is different from 

what it used to be.  I miss our Friday outings.  

Sitting by the water, enjoying the boats pass by while 

we had something to nibble and drink.  We still 

see the boats pass by, but it's different.

Yesterday was take-out day.  I had Thai 

and Sushi while

 Arvid stuck to pizza.  I like change, Arvid

 not so much.  The food was delicious.  

Yesterday it also rained quite a lot. We really 

needed the rain, and I am especially happy because

 the duckies get to live another day. 🥰

New month upon us.  Good things are bound to happen 😍

May your day be filled with good thoughts, 

kind people and happy moments.  Happy first of May. 

 Be happy first, then make it last...
