If You Want To Be Happy, Be...

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.....

Just when I think I am adapting nicely to living in a house in Tamarac something happens and then all of a sudden I miss the Grand or more like it, I miss living in a condo.

Arvid and I have been looking at a few condos the last few days with some pretty amazing views...yes water all around.  It is then that I realize all over again how great it was to be where we were and to have everything just within minutes of us...nostalgia settles in but only for a minute or so....because I then realize what a good life we have.

I am trying very hard and honestly I am doing really good.  We have a beautiful home...but sometimes you just can't help feeling the way you do.  There are days when I wake up feeling OLD! 

It will pass that I know....it HAS to because this will be home for us in Florida.  I also know that we have a good life, with a home in the Bahamas sitting right on the beach and another home in Chicago waiting for us....which also has a great view.

This last month has been actually very good living here because mom and dad are so close by.  Soon they will be leaving and it is already making me sad.....On the other hand, soon we will have Arvid's family visiting so that will be good as well.  Always good to have family around:)

Today my mom and dad and my good friend Liliana came over for lunch at our place.  I have been looking forward to this very much because Liliana has not been here before and she is curious to see where Brutus now calls home.

It was a very brief but we sure had a great time.  No one stayed longer than 4 hours and that was perfect.  We enjoyed each other's company, had good food prepared by my mom and yours truly.....Two glasses of wine each for my mom and Liliana and that was more than enough to put them in a good mood.  A few drinks for my dad and Arvid and next thing you know they were telling stories again. 

It was a perfect afternoon lots of laughter and with good company.....brief but very relaxing and enjoyable:)

If you want to be happy, be...happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open...


until next time....
