Life is truly amazing

This weekend showed me again, just when you think you know something, it's not so.

Let's start with Saturday:

A very dear friend of mine has a fear of driving long distances on the interstate.  For years, she'd say she was coming, and would later recant.  Well I thought that this weekend would be more of the same.  So instead of cleaning for company, I did the opposite. I took the house apart (moved furniture, cleaned out cabinets) in general made a huge mess of the place.  Well lo and behold, guess who made it down the interstate!  So I had her over in a topsy turvy house.  We later went to see another GF that I'm ashamed to say I hadn't seen in 2 years, despite living 10 minutes away. I'm so damned proud of my Maris, I still break out in a smile when I think about it.

Moving on to Sunday:

Have been talking via cyberspace and Ma Bell to an old friend from 30 years ago. We met my freshman year in college. We would stay up all night talking about many different topics.  After two months we  started "seeing" each other.  When I didn't return for my sophomore year, we lost contact.  Reconnected 30 years later via Facebook, and it was as if we had just talked the day before.  We still talk about any and everything under the sun. Yesterday, we finally got to see one another F2F.  No tension  or nervousness.  It was a great day.  Ain't Facebook amazing?!

It's days like the past two that let me know just how truly blessed I am.

Hope you can say the same,

 

McKenna

Here's my newest "baby".  Her name is McKenna.  She's 3 years old and a rescued Great Dane.  A little underweight due to her previous owner using her only to breed and not feeding her enough.  She's beautiful, house trained, and a couch potato LOL.

She's brought new joy to my life, and I'm hoping to bring love and security to hers.


I'm so very blessed.  I'm sure you can say the same.

Good for me

I got news yesterday that I do not have breast cancer. Two mammograms and one ultra sound confirmed that the girls are just dense, not lumpy.

Funnily enough, I wasn't worried, I was able to give it over to God and not worry about it.  How liberating and freeing.

I also had a mid year review, and I'm doing ok according to my manager.  I start my new case with Child Advocates next week.  Really wish there wasn't a need for people who do my job there. However, I will do everything in my power to ensure my new clients are taken care of and that their best interests are represented.

Today was a good day, started out at the Bark Park with some Great Danes, Fuss and Crew were there as well.  Later drove out to the airport to look at a possible dog to adopt.  Of course I'm deeply in love with her already. Not sure what's going to happen, but if my home is not for her, she will be taken care of by someone who will love her at least as much as I do.

Hoping to finish unpacking the last of the boxes tomorrow, and yes I'm even going to the gym.

I am praying that you are as blessed as I am.  More importantly, I hope you are giving thanks regularly.

So blessed,
