It's always hard

I've been away for quite a while because life has been so full. But, anyone who knows me well would expect me to be here at this time. It's just me.


It's always hard to lose a pet. Our family lost our dog who was with us for 14 years. She meant a lot to each and every one of us. Unfortunately, the time came when we had to end her suffering. There was not a dry eye in our home and we are all missing her very much. We miss her greeting us when we come in the door. We miss the sound her feet made when they clicked across the wood floor in the night. She gave her love unconditionally to all of us and never held a grudge about anything. She sat by my chair every night. She was a jealous dog at times. She would bark if I talked on the phone, giving someone else my attention. She was smart too. She knew that if she went outside to potty, it resulted in her favorite "bone" treats. If anyone so much as sneezed, she was right there trying to find out what was wrong. She knew....she cared about all of us.

We miss her and it will be a while before the household seems normal again. But, this is home and always will be.

Thank you Lord for blessing us with such a fine lovable pet for so many years.

Slow this train down!

Did you ever feel like life is just flying by because you work 6 days a week and have way too much going on? Don't really know how to fix it either. So many things I would like to do and no time or no money to do them. Yikes! It seems like it's Monday and then all of a sudden it's Friday again. Seriously...slow this thing down!!!
