A Happy Ending for the Dog Drama

Yes, I can say that it is a happy ending. What a difference a day can make! Yesterday I was incredibly sad at the prospect of not seeing my cute dog ever again. My blog posting yesterday might have provided enough evidence of my sadness. But today I am elated because we have found him and he is at home with us again! Where was he found? Someone finally called us to say they had our dog. He was in someone's yard in our neighborhood - maybe about 8 or 9 blocks away. I wasn't there to receive the call but someone else in my family was. When they went to pick up Snoopy and inquire as to where he was when they found him, they were simply told that he was sitting outside their fence and so they brought him inside. My sister-in-law told me she was inclined to think that they wanted to keep him but may have either listened to their conscience or seen the flyer that I had posted at the grocery store less than a block away from the house where Snoopy was found. Either way, I am just than...

Remembering my father on Fathers Day

It has taken me a long time to post this but I felt I had to today.... On March 25, 2012 a large light in my life was turned off. My father left on his last known journey into the beyond, just a month shy of his 75th birthday and a day after his 54th wedding anniversary. I knew, mentally, that this day would come, particularly as he began more frequent trips to the ER in the past couple of years due to certain health issues. But although I mentally prepared, it was in no way enough for what it really felt like, and continues to feel like. And more stunning in some ways is how he passed so soon after my wedding. I had hoped that he would be around longer to see me accomplish more things and perhaps even see his youngest grandchild if we decided to have one. But as I traveled across the country the day after he passed, I couldn't help but feel how selfish that hope might have been for my father in his condition. Yes I know he had many things he wanted to still do and be around...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Image
The end of a year, and the beginning of another - the end of opportunities past and the beginning of new ones. What do you do at the end of every year and as the new year starts? Reflect on what kind of year it's been and then make resolutions for the new one? As for me, yes I reflect on what kind of year it's been and what I've learned. I also pick an area that I want to try and improve in the coming one - but yeah, just like resolutions, it's hard to improve dedicatedly throughout the year. But I've learned that while some years are tough and others are just jam-packed with events, the most important part for me is whether or not I have grown. And as I look forward to the new year, rather than drawing up a list of resolutions, I look forward to new things with hope. So as I look back on 2006, I see where I've grown and where I've faltered. While personally there are many things on which I could reflect, I also think about what's going on in the world a...
