&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering &amp;lsquo;it will be happier&amp;rsquo; ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A happier life for me started on January 2nd, 2023.  A change of country, scenery, and environment brought with it new vistas and opportunities.  It was something that I had dreamt and hoped to do for many years – wintering in a beautiful, warm place.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had always dreamed of living by the sea and hearing the waves lapping the shore day and night.  While I was dreaming, I thought that if there were also mountains, that would be a bonus.  Since I saw the Sound of Music and Heidi when I was a little girl, mountains have always beckoned to me.  My new locale has the sea, boats, and the Sierra Madre Mountains.  Talk about luck!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
