Happy New Year Everyone

Here's to a serene and happy 2014.  May everyone have the opportunity to find their inner peace and happiness this year.

It's a New Year for me and hopefully an easier year than the past two have been.  I've decided to turn my focus on relaxing and enjoying myself this new year.  With the passing of both parents in the last two years moving on has been difficult and a bit scary as I miss they're presence in my life daily.  However, neither would want me to grieve for them so it's time to turn a corner and move on.  A New Year seems like a good time for just that. 

 

So here's to a Serene 2014.

 

 

Off for the Holidays

Merry Christmas to all.

 

Drive Safe and enjoy.

 

 

Tiffanies can drop these boxes off at my place - I'll be home waiting Santa.

Countdown to Christmas ....

Snow and more Snow

This weekend was all about digging out from the snow.  It just never stopped - looks like we'll be having a white Christmas after all.  Weather like this just makes you want to snuggle up at home in front of the fire with wool socks on your feet and a warm drink in your hand.  Maybe when I get home and maybe even a walk in the freshly fallen snow. Ok maybe that last one is a bit too ambitious at the moment.

 

 

 

Classic Ralph Lauren

It's a classic Ralph Lauren kind of day for me today as I wrap presents and prepare for the holidays.  One more week to go and I'm on holidays.  It's been a rough year so this holiday is all about relaxing, spending time with family and friends.  I want to savour every moment of it because we haven't had a proper Christmas for the last two years.  So this year, it's all about appreciating what we have and feeling the love.

The downside of Aging

I love this watch, but couldn't read the time without reading glasses.  Lovely for someone young like this young woman but not practical for someone my age.  I think I'm having a mid-life crisis.

I'm Dreaming of....

Can you tell this week wore me out. I'm off for a relaxing bath the minute I walk in the door.

 

 

 

 

How long until Spring?

 

I'm beginning to feel a lot like - well not Christmas.  I'm losing my spirit again.

 

 

 

Luxury is in the Details

Say what you will about the French History - they had great taste.  A little over the top for my style.  But great taste all the same. 

 

The Palace of Versailles.

 

 

 

Day or night.  It shines.

Another mini-travel break

Here looks nice - with my own butler waiting at the door to do my bidding.  Ahh the good life.

 

Back to work......

The majesty of Horses

There is something about horses - they've always seemed like such noble animals to me.  They can be fierce but for the most part they're always happy to see you, love to run and will do almost anything you ask of them.  They remind me of my dog sometimes. 

That said I should add that I've been thrown by every horse I've ever ridden at some point.  Still I get back on and keep riding.  Well not lately but in my heart I am.

 

 

Christy Turlington - How do they do it?

The recent photo I posted from an old Calvin Klein ad earlier - I remember that ad clearly because I wanted that white swimsuit and never found it.  At any rate, she still looks the same.  How do they do it?

 

 

If it's possible I think she's even more beautiful today.  Maybe I should take up yoga.
