Monday December 30th~

The end of a year is a time for reflection
 on the past and anticipation for the future...


 The last Monday in 2024.  What a year it has been.  
 Many good memories made and some not so happy times, 
but in the big picture; I will have to say that it has not 
been the worst of years.  I wish for many that 2025
 sees you doing better in health, love and life.


This year saw us going to Branson a couple of times. 
 Of course one can't forget the memorable times in Norway 
this past summer with family.  Making those unforgettable 
memories with the little ones, and not so little ones is 
something that cannot be compared to anything else.


I have had many a doctors appointments, but given my 
"conditions" nothing unusual here.  Maybe a little more 
pain than I would like right now, but when I think of 
others, and this is just the ones I know, I have to 
say that I have nothing to complain about.


One of the most unforgettable times I have had has been
 the month of August.  I had the month all to myself and I
 did more in one month than I did in the entire year.  I loved 
every moment I had.  I visited family, but the best part was 
going to San Francisco with three other girl friends.


If you ask me what I would like to do again in 
2025 I would say that another trip with the girls to 
San Francisco would make me happy.  I loved that
 city, and I am so happy I experienced it with these 
three  girls.  A whole new experience for me.


As always there is my Sniff who makes me the 
happiest.  Never asks for anything but to be loved, 
brushed, fed, played and more.  Shoots, seems like he
 sure is "demanding" 😂  For him I would do anything.


Having mom and dad here with us is also something I
 will never take for granted.  Being able to spend time with
them even better.  Usually our Sunday outings is just for
 Arvid and myself, yesterday it was the four of us.


Arvid and I continue to celebrate life.  We make each 
day a celebration.  We may not always agree on everything, 
but what we do agree on is that we have a good life and 
we would like to continue making it the best life.


As the year comes to an end, don't look back 
on yesterday's disappointments.  Look ahead 
to all the possibilities yet to unfold...
