We set a goal many years ago to change our lifestyle from one of the hectic city life, ….. to one of a slower island pace, working on things that makes us happy and gives us the freedom to enjoy our time together...
I woke up to the beautiful sound of the waves and the smell of the salty ocean.....Oh and also the sound of Brutus crying to get out of his room...he is very spoilt...but we love it!!!
Here everything is so relaxing so we almost never keep track of time where as back home Ft. Lauderdale it is always a mad rush to get up at a certain time because so and so needs to be done. Here we just get up whenever we feel like it. 
7:35 am and the man making our pool is already out there with his big excavator machinery. Brutus as you can imagine is curious yet extremely cautious...not sure what all the noise from the machine is about.....here he is peeking at the machine....still not sure if it's safe...
Right away we know we are in Island Mode...there is no tension as to what the day ahead holds, not the stress that the phone calls will start bombarding us in the next few minutes nor that mad desire to check emails all day long.....here it's just whatever the day brings we go with the flow.....Here in Eleuthera our big thing is outdoor living....we are always out just running around, meeting people and doing small chores/errands which keeps us busy and happy. We are most happy when doing something. We are not the type to just sit...we are constantly on the move...
We own lots of land in Eleuthera and we are also marketing those.... http://www.arvidrealtyservices.com/ life in Eleuthera so far has been very good to us and we look forward to many more years of being able to enjoy "our" island. Arvid always tells me that he will spend the last days of his life here on this island in shorts.....
my answer to that is...why not? Here we are very happy....as they say a picture speaks for itself...just look at that smile and enough said...
it is the simple things in life that sometimes makes us the happiest...
You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough.
until the next time....
