Tuesday July 26th ~

 I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever 
situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater
 part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not
 by our circumstance but by our disposition...

On Sunday Arvid and I found a new little spot on Table Rock Lake.
  I am sure it will soon become a favorite of ours.  Amazing views


We decided to look for a different place to go, but the criteria 
was that is should be on the water.  I love Google, it took me 
straight to several places soon to be 🙏discovered by us.


As soon as we got there it felt as if we were in a different place. 
 Arvid said it reminded him of Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.
  It has an island vibe.  Live music and just everyone jammin'


Even though it was sweltering hot, it didn't stop us from walking
 around and checking out the vies and the little gift shops all around.


Of course once Arvid saw this "other" side of Branson
 he was more interested in discovering more of it.  I also 
wish to see more.  When we first came to Branson in
 2016, we never had time to do much.  Now we do.


We look forward to finding more of these "gems" we never 
had the time to explore.  As Arvid said, now it's getting interesting.


Arvid to me, "you know there is no rush to get back to Florida"  
Though it is HOT here in Branson, there is no humidity like there
 is in Florida.  Last year it was warm all through December 
(here in Branson), and that's what Arvid said to me.


We even checked out into renting a boat.  Of course Arvid's 
first thought was, "maybe we should buy a boat"  Hopefully 
I have been successful is dissuading him from that.


This lady saw me trying to take a picture of Arvid,
 not easy.  She snuck in without him knowing.  I thought 
it was funny.  Arvid as you can see not so much.


Life for us is always more interesting where there is water. 
 One thing about Missouri, it does have some amazing lakes. 


 Suddenly there is so much to be "discovered" and
 we look forward to doing so.  To all a very good day.  
There is nothing like a cheerful contended life.


Most important decision we should make every morning 
is to be happy and cheerful throughout the day. This one 
decision has the power to make our life magical...

Monday, Start of a New Week ~

 Our attitude toward life determines
 life's attitude towards us...

Last day of the month, and it is looking good. 
 Warming up nicely and expecting lots of sunshine the 
next few days.  This being Branson, I hope it does not do a
 switcheroo and before you know it we are back to freezing. 
 For now a very beautiful and warm week awaits us.


All is good with us.  I will say there are days when we
 just reminisce of Puerto Rico.  I miss the food, the drinks, 
the scenery, my sister.  I miss the kitties so much.


To all a happy day and make the most of this last day in February.


Happiness is an attitude of mind, 
born of the simple determination to be 
happy under all outward circumstances...
