Celebrating Tracy's Birthday

 We had a nice celebratory dinner at a new place called "Bacari" on 2nd street. Happy Birthday Tracy! 

Day 9 Friday October 16 the Gala

 We stayed home all day. It was cold and windy.  We left the house at 5:00 for the Gala.  We were one of the first to arrive and we strolled around and took pictures.  

Stressed Out

 

How to de-stress:

Be Active

Take control of what you can

Connect with People

Create "Me time"

Challenge yourself set goals

Avoid unhealthy habits

Help others

Be Positive 

 

Old Pictures

 "Sometimes I look at an old picture

and find myself smiling at things

I didn't even know I'd miss,

at people, places

and little moments

I never thought I'd lose.

and sometimes,

I look at the same picture

and wish I could go back.

not to change a single thing,

but to feel that happiness

without knowing how

things would end.

It's strange how we keep the pictures, 

even when life moves on without them.

the picture stays the same,

it's the person looking at it

who has changed."  

Infinite Possibilities

 

"Live your life with an appreciation of

coincidences and you connect with the field

of infinite possibilities."  

Be of Good Faith

 "the good days won't last forever.

Neither will the bad ones.

So when life is good, stop worrying

about what could go wrong.

Be Present. Enjoy it.

Appreciate what you have.

and when life gets hard, 

don't convince yourself that this 

is how your story will end.

Pain changes, 

circumstances change.

Life keeps moving.

You don't have to fear 

losing the good days

and you don't have to lose 

hope during the bad ones.

Nothing stays the same forever. Learn

to appreciate the good,

and have the courage

to endure the bad."
