Rain, Rain Don't Go Away

Nothing to say, bruised and battered (figuratively)

So I will be grateful:
  1. for the desire to change.
  2. for the knowledge that I am not crazy.
  3. for this incredible rain.
  4. for my conscience that tells me right from wrong.
  5. for the hard work I've done to get where I am.
  6. when the knot in my stomach eases.
  7. for remembering I have the ability to take care of myself. 
  8. for my body that encapsulates my soul and keeps me moving
  9. for a silly dog that can make me smile in bad times.
  10. for Mexican Food!!!
  11. the rain again.
  12. loving and wonderful kids.
  13. for Jacuzzis
  14. for a flawed man.
  15. for a good counselor.
  16. for the reminder that "GRATEFUL"  can change the day.
  17. did I mention rain?
So the knot is smaller, more manageable. Have yourself a great day.

    Yay for silly dogs! They are healers. Silly cats too.

      I am not currently a cat owner and the one cat I would like to have just left this world a little bit sadder for his leaving. But thank goodness for of loving animal family members.

    A smaller, more manageable knot. That is good stuff!

      No complaints. My yard is a bit of a pond but keep it coming. The lakes are blessedly starting to fill up again. It is a soothing thing, rain ☔️

    I have a jacuzzi, just a small on, fits two people. But, oh. I love it! And I love it!

    I am waiting for that same knot to loosen.

      I got to this late. Here's to hoping you knot, if not gone completely, is diminished in size. Have a great Saturday.

A Journey To Home

My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

Private Eye

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary...

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  I...
