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....
A long time ago we lived in The Bahamas.
We would wake up up to the beautiful sound of
the waves and the smell of the salty ocean.
Here everything was so relaxing so we almost never
kept track of time as we did/do while living in Florida.
In the islands everything was at a different/slower pace.
Back the we lived in Ft. Lauderdale it was always a mad
rush to get up at a certain time because so and so needs to
be done. Here we just got up whenever we felt like it.
Yes, it's nice to look back a and remember this
wonderful Island that was once home to Arvid, Brutus
and I. We had cute little house right on the beach.
In Eleuthera the big thing is outdoor living.
When we lived there, we were always out just running
around, meeting people and doing small chores/errands
which kept 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. Even after all these years, we
both still thrive on being busy. It makes us feel alive.
Life in Eleuthera was very good to us and we
enjoyed every moment we had on this special island.
The last few times that we have been back has
been as tourists. That also felt very good.
As visitors, it gave us time to appreciate the island all over
again, and to have more time to enjoy a few of the sites, restaurants
and some of our favorite places from a different perspective.
Though we are no longer "regulars," we do look forward
to many more years of being able to enjoy Eleuthera. The
beauty and the magic that we fell in love with is still here, and
the people we met are still as nice and hospitable as always.
Life in Florida is good to us. There is no other place we
would call home. We have loved all the places we have lived,
but home is and always will be Florida. A good day to all.
You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough...
