Thinking about the good old days is like flipping through a mental photo album. It's like reading pages full of stories that feel just like warm, comforting hugs, reminding us of the love from the past.

    And because we know better ones are coming we can still smile during the hard days.

  11. Oh, how I love squirrels, Linda, as Racer is the hero of my novel series! I guess this little guy must be one of his proteges. I can also recall my grandmother singing that "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" song. Such sweet and poignant memories that brought back for me. Blessings!

  17. What a lovely thought this is: "Winter is a season of recovery and preparation." ⛄️💙☕️
    We have one millimetre of snow here in Helsinki, so I'll try Canadian surfing, but there are no guarantees that I'll succeed. 🏄🏿 🙃😀

  24. There are again several quotes, who help me through the fog going may way.
    Many greetings to you and to the white snow from Dori from the Bavarian Forest ******

    + Mein neues Wort: "Blesson" Es ist, wenn Sie in der Lage sind, schmerzhafte Lektionen als Segen zu betrachten. Mit anderen Worten, Sie sehen den Segen in der Lektion, die Ihre Herausforderung Ihnen beigebracht hat +
    + You can't lose what you never had. You can't keep what's not yours, and you can't hold onto something that doesn't want to stay. +

    and more....
