taking time to smell the roses

Hello friends, I've been busy with not being so busy.  While I did complete a painting in October, the month of November has been about being thankful and taking the time for myself. 
I helped out a friend with another cat sitting gig.  Bought myself a few new pieces of clothing.  Went on a trip with my daughter Christa to Mexico City, where we visited the castle in the huge park that is bigger than New Yorks Central Park, enjoyed excellent Pizza and walked around the tree lined streets.   We then flew to Ixtapa and stayed at the Worldmark Resort in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The resort was fantastic, and the beautiful bay and local people were so kind, and we just really loved it.   I do plan on returning another time.

 I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with Christa, time to swim in the pool, walk around Mexico City and Zihuatanejo.  While we were in Zihau, we met several people from Washington state also visiting the area.  We also went over to what they call the island and, on the way, met a local man who was wearing a Seahawks Jersey #12, and worked at a beach restaurant with the Seahawks flag, it's a small world.  We spent the day at this restaurant lounging, enjoying the turquoise waters and eating great food.

It was a lovely vacation, and I didn't realize how much
I actually needed to go and see some different sites of Mexico and break up my weekly routines.
