Hello You! As Melody Beattie said, "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more." Every year should be thankful for life itself, but also focus on the simplest blessings we receive every day.

“The Baroness is sending us a message and if we choose not to embrace it, more’s the pity.  She noted that BVI is a very beautiful place.  However, she was unimpressed with the time it took her to get to these shores.  The short runway at the T.

“The water, mostly, goes everywhere but in the pipes.  Sometimes, for weeks on end, one must be content with seeing it cascading downhill or flowing through the bushes while it is needed in homes, in guest rooms, in businesses. Often, an observant Good Samaritan who knows one of the maintenance workers may send a photo with the hope that the identified leaks/breaks would be urgently addressed.   But it seems the maintenance workers often return to the same spo...
