Waterloo; Moving Pictures

Summer's Goodbye


This is me at the end of summer vacation, capturing another moment to share with my dear blogging friends...

Now, it will begin.














Again...the daily drive across this bridge...


















I do love the angular design.

How do you handle change?
I feel the upheaval and know it's necessary.
I feel the resistance and make myself stay with it.
I tell myself: I want to move along in life and this is the price.

These are the thoughts I ponder:
If good things are to come, we must all allow for change.
Change can be exciting.

Still, this change can be dreaded. It's a Waterloo!

SOLUTION?

The contrast must be met HEAD ON.

I'm getting myself hyped up for the next few months. I console myself with the thought that maybe I can still fit in a few walks around the Condado lagoon?
~~~~~

My friend, Daphne and beautiful niece, Tina-linda, smile for the camera, while we pause to take in the gorgeous view.



















In an effort to keep our girlish figures, we've been walking around the lagoon this summer.
(Miss Daphne and Tina-linda have been quite successful!)















When we are close to the end of the walk, we often stop at the little park on Ashford Avenue to take a look at the sea.




Here at the park, I am having a chat in front of a Botello sculpture, this is the last walk before we all return to school.
(The song, See You in September has to be modified a bit in Puerto Rico to... See You in August which is when we return to school.)









~~~~~
As the semester begins, I have to remember to give
Michelle extra hugs and lots of love to the pups.



















My little lovie-dovie, Buddy Holly (My Buddy), will miss my excessive attention.



















And I must give Benico del Toro (Beni) an extra treat. He's such a good dog and he watches the house so well.



My brave Beni will be alone all day...er...rather he will be with the 'dirty dozen' - our rescued dogs.













~~~~~
I'm tempted to get moody. Just stay here at the park, and sit by the sea... but enough!















I must face my Waterloo ABBA Style! Won't you join me in singing into this shift? Let us celebrate our life changes! Why don't I buy some hair dye, get some sparkly platform shoes, and CELEBRATE!!! (Mama Mia- does it get any better than this? Hey Pink Cowboy! Don't you agree?)
