Journaling reads:
Pura Vida means “Good life.”We have a “good life.””
We live in a place that is as close to heaven as one can get: The Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. We live in a small town where we have everything we need, and we don’t have to drive more than 2 hours to reach a city.
We live in a place where we can see apple trees in full bloom in Spring, then pick apples from the same trees in autumn.
We have a pony! We board her at a farm just up the road. We can hop in the van and go visit her after supper. Our four children all take riding lessons. The older kids can spend all day on a Saturday with her. In summer and fall, we can take her to shows like the Tremont Fair and the Lawrencetown Exhibition, places where every one of us can enjoy some aspect of small town life: visiting with the ox-pull families, or enjoying the fresh cut French fries.
We have 2 dogs and lots of room for them to run: almost an acre—yet we live in a subdivision! We know, and like, the neighbours on both sides of us.
We have trees in our yard, birds singing, nesting and hatching eggs in the shrubs in our front yard.
The sunsets are beautiful. We can see the stars at night.
Sigh: Pura Vida, indeed.
