Do you celebrate or mark Valentine’s Day?
It has never really been a big deal in our house. Even before my husband and I had kids, Valentine’s Day wasn’t a huge deal. Part of that is probably because of the jobs we both had – he owned his own business and I worked the evening shift at a Toronto newsroom! We were always working on Valentine’s Day.
Now we have kids,
I am grateful!
It has been a while since I have posted about daily gratitude. I will be honest there has been a lot happening in my life and while the need to express daily gratitude has increased my practice of expressing daily gratitude has decreased.
Soooooooooooo……
I realize it is time to start expressing my attitude of gratitude to the Universe. I know that it is important to express goodness into the Universe.
I have a confession to make. I wasn’t sure that our kids would have fun on this Disney Cruise. I know, when I write it down it does sound a bit nuts but let me explain. So, my kids were 12 and 14 at the time of the cruise back in April (they are now soon to be 13 in a matter of days and 15) and they have been to Disney World in Florida many times and have been to Disneyland in California once.
In this post, I want to talk about our stop at Castaway Cay. It is Disney’s private island. For us, it was our only stop during our 5-day Marvel Day at Sea Cruise. Bad weather and large swells kept us from getting off the boat in Grand Cayman because it is a soft tender port. The only way to get off at Grand Cayman is to get onto a smaller boat since they do not have a large pier for docking the ship.
The long weekend means cottage for many people in Ontario, and we are not different.
We have a family cottage that my parents own. The long weekend (this weekend is Victoria Day long weekend for us) means a bit of extra time north of the city. Our place is on Skeleton Lake in Muskoka. It is in cottage country but still close enough to a town that we can zip to the store to pick up groceries.
