“If nothing around you changes, change the things that are around you”

Porte Ponderings:
Ice and snow everywhere you go.
2025 we weren’t able to go to Florida because there were no rentals available in our favorite park. So when the chance came up to go and escape the winter we leapt for it. We were lucky enough to find a new house sitter as our previous one got her own apartment closer to her work. We were going to take all the pets with us, but no hotels allow 3 pets. So when we sent the word out to our kids, the oldest quickly came back with Maddie. Maddie is a student nurse working midnights. Living in a home with 2 other younger sisters, Maddie is looking forward to being able to sleep daytimes.

Porte Ponderings:
The night we’ve been waiting for. The elves are doing last minute preparations before Santa starts his journey.
Family gatherings ending early enough so Milk and cookies can be put out. Children go to bed in anticipation of what is left during the night.
My fondest memories are of my sisters and I sneaking up at 4AM to see the tree lit and all the presents in anticipation of opening them once Mom and Dad made breakfast. Magic. Excitement.
May the magic of the season continue in your home. ❤
If you’re climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time.
Don’t look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don’t think you’re progressing until you step back and see how high you’ve really gone.
~ Donny Osmond Singer and songwriter Born on: 9th December 1957
