New Month ~ New Week. Hello November

 Whatever the new month is bringing for you, be it good

 or bad; always keep that smile on your face no matter what...

Hello November.  We've been waiting for you for some time. 
 Finally here.  For me it's bittersweet no matter how I look at it.

I have what I need and for that I am grateful.  Looking

 forward to seeing what November has in stock for us.

  Time is going by too fast.  2021 is almost over.

Take time to be thankful for everything that you have.

  You can always have more, but you could also have less.

October ended with the birth of our newest granddaughter. 

Welcome to the world baby Ameila.  Grandma and Grandpa 

already love you and can't wait to see you and hold you.

Here’s to a month of possibilities, overcoming challenges

 and all-round success.  Keep your eyes open and your feet

 moving forward.  You'll find what you need...

Friday July 23rd ~

 A mistake that makes you humble is better 

than an achievement that makes you Arrogant...

Yesterday I brought ShyBoy home.  She was scared

 and took off like a bat outta hell.  Just as the others did.

  When I went to check on her around 5pm she was not there.  

Same as the others.  They hid all day after coming home.

Shy did come out for foodies this morning.  Not in her 

usual spot, but she came out and had a little mingling with 

the others.  Ate some foodies then ran off.  Hopefully this

 afternoon I will see her and give her some extra food.

Last night as soon as Arvid landed in the USA and 

was able to call me he did.  I heard it in his voice.  It

 was different.  It was alive and he was happy.  I had

 not heard that vibrancy in his voice since he left. 

The first thing he said was, "I am finally almost home." 

 Arvid was gone for too long, I know he went to see family,

 but even he said it was too long.  But now he's back and he 

sounds like the Arvid I know.  Vibrant.  His voice said it all.

Arvid did ask me a few times when he was in Norway

 to meet him in Fort Lauderdale.  I choose to not do so.

Friday.  Weekend begins.  Have to make a few

 plans for the day.  To all a happy day and a great 

start of your weekend.  Make it memorable.

You glow differently when you're actually happy...

Sunday December 6th ~

Hang on. Be tough.  Better times are coming...

Come tomorrow Puerto Rico will be experiencing

tighter restrictions due to the spread of Covid-19. 

  Life as we all knew it, is not the same anymore. 

 Hoping 2021 will bring better times.  That being 

said, there is still so much to be grateful for.

Sunset on the beach.  Another of my favorite times of the day.

Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens,

everyday can end beautifully. I'm looking at it.

Puerto Rico is famous for Coquito during the holidays.

  My sister Nirvana has already started to make for the

 neighbors and her friends.  It's a tradition, and it is much better

 than any store bought gift.  it's made with love and, care

 and time.  The happiest time of the year is upon us.

Happy day all and remember always, there's

 something about a Holiday that isn't all 

about how much money you spend 🎅

Sunrise and sunset reminds me 

that there's a new tomorrow...
