Surprise, Surprise, Surprise
Hello Strangers!
I know, I know. But this time, I promise. I will do better. This year has been, well, interesting to say the least. It's August and enough has happened to fill a few years. I have suffered loss, welcomed new life, moved (twice), started a new job, felt my heart flutter with an old flame, traveled, spent time with my family, made new friends, realized that the old flame is actually my cryptonite.....etc, etc, etc
And I'm still standing. Barely. And yet stronger at the very same time.
In time, I will provide details. Update you all as a form of therapy for myself at a much better price. I'm trying to convince myself that the cliches are true: Everything happens for a reason, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, time heals all wounds. In fact I am shoving them down my own throat. I know I'll be fine, I know I am fine. I am a lucky woman. I have nothing to complain about. But still, somedays are hard. However, I have been blessed with a family that always shows up. No matter what. I have been doubly blessed with my girls. My friends from childhood that whenever needed, they circle up, rally around, pick me up and put me back on my feet. In case I forgot to tell you, thank you. Thank you all.
I'll be back to tell update soon, I promise. Oz, the magnificent, or yellow dog as I am currently calling him, is well. Pushing 95 pounds and still all pup! I'm reading the book Marley and Me. While I am enjoying it, and very in touch with some of the owners experiences. These folks had it worse. When I first started reading it, I thought my Labrador and theirs may be of the same blood line. Now, I see that I actually had it easy. My dog is a tranquil turtle compared to what this couple went through! But we're good. Me and yellow dog. Starting to wonder if that's the only couple I am ever going to be a part of though? It's my longest and most successful relationship yet! And they tell me I've got the 33rd creeping up? Humph! Can I do 32 again? Please?
