Various thoughts

I realize that I have been quiet the last few days but life is getting in the way of my blogging.  First I was out of town and I really enjoyed my time away from reality, then there are health concerns within my family, and there is a new puppy running around driving me nuts and giving me so much joy at the same time.

My oldest has been asking for a puppy for the last 8 months and since I have sucker written on my forehead I got him a nice little guy from the pound.  8 weeks old and neutered and his shots up to date for $85.  A very good deal.  If you are interested in a new pet, look to the shelters and pounds.  There are a lot of nice animals just begging for a new home.

Okay, back to the point I am so laboriously trying to make.  Life throws you curve balls on a regular basis.  So how can we deal with life and still function?  By taking everything one day at a time.  It doesn’t matter what your angst may be.  It doesn’t matter if you are trying to put the drink down, believe that God loves you, or trying to lose weight.  (Or a million other things that could be listed here.)  All we have to do is say for today I am not doing (whatever) or I will do (whatever) today.  Today is all we have and today is the only day we can truly live in. 

So for today I choose to believe that God loves me just as I am, I choose to find the wonder of dew on the grass as I take the new puppy out for a BR break ( very early in the morning I might add), and I choose to believe that everything will work out in the end.  One day at a time.
