Thankful Thursday-Catching Up and Feeling Loved
I took the bear out for a walk this morning at 9 and ran into one of my old friends from middle/high school. We hadn't talked in a few months and ended up talking for almost two and a half hours. It was so good to hear she was happy, despite some challenges in her life ( Read more... ) -
Change
I am sitting in Keslie's (one of my best friends) room, waiting for her to get out of the shower. When she does we are heading back to my house to stay for the week and take care of Jake ( Read more... ) -

The Wrong Words
A few days ago I was walking down the street with my sister and our pup. It was the first time we'd really spent together in a few days. I was looking all around me at the trees and the flowers and the sprinklers in our neighbors' yards. I was noticing the sweat starting to build on my upper lip.

I Will Not Be Afraid, and Pugsitting
Over the last few months I have found myself backing away from sites like Livejournal and Blogger. Instead, I tweet. I Facebook. It's just too easy. Easy to write one sentence and send it off for the world (okay, my followers) to see. I've been thinking a lot as to why I haven't blogged, and there seems to be only one answer ( Read more... )
