Peace & Serenity

After my workout at MBB and PF this morning, I took a trip to two cemeteries where special people in my life lie. I visited my great grandmother who was so dear to my heart and always wanted the best for me. I always go near every Christmas to decorate her grave with a little something. I hope she is looking down and smiling down on her family and I hope I am making her proud.
Next I visited my godfather, whom I haven't visited since he passed exactly two years from today. I knew he passed near Christmas but wasn't sure of the date; it was very coincidental when I found out today was the anniversary. His grave looked beautiful from the lovely decorations his daughter set up for him this morning.

The cemeteries I visited were so peaceful and serene. I love driving and walking in them around the holidays and seeing the beautiful wreaths, plants and trees near all our loved one's grave sites.



After my visits I came to my mother's house to make Portuguese biscuits, a holiday tradition my mom keeps every Christmas. Listening to Xmas music and rolling out dough always puts me in a good mood.
Here's some more photos of my day, hope everyone had a good one! God Bless Xo
