A New Week Begins ~

There are a few moments in your life when you are 
truly and completely happy, and you remember to give thanks. 
Even as it happens you are nostalgic for the moment,
 you are tucking it away in your scrapbook...

As the new week begins I am feeling a little bit of nostalgia.

Everyday is a new day and no matter what the day brings I am ready.

Life changes, but then we have always welcomed change.  

The past week was gorgeous.  We had some rain, lighting

 and thunder yesterday, but it has cleared up again and once

 again a beautiful week awaits us.  I look forward to what the

 week holds.  Soon we will be going to Norway and I 

can already feel that I am missing Almost Home.

The last year and 7 months it has been the main focus of my life. 

  I wake up with a purpose and I go to work.  I feel exhilarated 

to be able to stay busy and to see the results of my hard work.

  Arvid transformed 76 Inn.  I have made Almost Home

 into a place where everyone wishes to be.

I have formed friendships with so many, I know it will be 

difficult when one day I am no longer will be there.  A 

part of my heart will always be in Branson and an even

 bigger part with many of my tenants at Almost Home.

On the other hand a month is not an eternity.  I am already 

getting everything ready for Sniff Sniff.  I hate the thought of 

leaving him for so long.  I wish there was some way he could go

 with us, but I won't ever do that to Sniff.  The flight to Norway 

is more than I can handle, imagine what it would do to Sniff.

To all a good week. Make each moment count and enjoy
 every moment of it.  That's what I always try to do.

There comes a time in your life when you have to choose
 to turn the page, write another book or simply close it...
