I don't think I ever posted Velvet's birthday picture... but I ran across it and thought some might enjoy seeing it (yes, she was actually born on April 20th, which I do enjoy celebrating) - and she doesn't mind wearing hats at all; just found a little witches hat for halloween! (She's been a bat the past two years... lol). I thank God for her every single day! I love her so much; she is so tolerant;-) 20170420_194440_Film3WP_20151031_002WP_20151031_010

“A Moment of Meditation”… As I was feeding tonight, I sat down in between kennels to catch my breath; I closed my eyes and put my head down on my knees. The sounds in the air began to increase in intensity; first the crickets, and the mosquitoes, then the locust… the birds and then the frogs – there were at least six different types of frogs I could hear. I began to notice the sound of the wind, soft as it was, blowing through my backyard Willow. I kept my eyes closed and listened, as the sounds waxed and waned in synchronicity. The moment took me away from the exhaustion, the stress of the past few days, and the fact that I still had half of the dogs to feed. The water trickling into the ducks’ pond behind me joined the chorus and suddenly brought me back down to ‘reality’ as I opened my eyes and stood to resume my duties. I love my moments of JUST BEING. 20170427_063813_Film3

I have enjoyed the past week playing outside in my garden;-) thinking I would not have had that opportunity if I had passed my exam because I would be in another class, trying to get assignments done. As it is, I have another month of leave until my next attempt at the DQE! Everything happens for a reason; this I know. Aren't those clouds beautiful?WP_20170127_001

DETERMINED to get more organized! Just finished making a Word document with ALL of my social media networking links, book links, and blogs, etc. It's four pages long... I didn't even realize just how much I have out there. Wow; I've got my work cut out for me (but it's too late to back out now). EXPOSURE is what I always feared; the fear of "being known" has haunted me since childhood - but here I am! I HAVE OVERCOME!! There's a magnet on my fridge that I couldn't resist buying when I saw it a couple of years ago; it became my inspiration. It says ~ "Dare to be remarkable; go confidently in the direction of your dreams ~Thoreau" (he must be an ancient philosopher) - I read it everyday. I have decided to be remarkable and go confidently in the direction of my dreams! 19671992 Dennel2Me - 20120106Me 20111231a

Hey Shari... I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your prayers for Bandit; sadly, she never emerged again. I fear a dog killed her under the house, as that is where she chose to live. When she didn't come up that first morning (December 10th), I knew in my heart she was dead. She always came out when I fed; I had her for almost twelve years. Never offered her for adoption because she was truly schizophrenic; frightened of the world...lived in a cage (by her choice) for the first three years of her life. Finally adapted to the outdoors, and associating with the other kitties (a little bit), but still had to find her own hiding place. We had a neighbor dog coming onto the property and harrassing all of the cats that week; he probably got her *tears falling as I type (okay); my Velvet, who is a licensed Psychological Service Dog, just sensed me crying - got in my face and started licking me and hugging me (by rubbing her head on my face). Now I'm smiling. She was truly a gift from God. Anyway, thank you so much for those prayers; I'm sure Bandit is in heaven with my sister now, which means she is just fine. It's me who's having a hard time... but I will be okay! ~w love, 046Velvet_1 year old4Velvet_1 year old3
