I’m standing by the fire where we roasted marshmallows and had Some-mores, and was looking at my acreage, seeing how nice it looked now that my daughter and son-in-law had cleaned up so much of the extra twigs and the flowers they planted were blossoming and beautiful. It made me happy and sad at theContinue reading “Accepting Change”

Have you ever noticed as you are sitting inside your house, that when the sun comes out from behind the clouds it not only brightens up the sky but also the inside of the house! It gives you a feeling of happy warmth. It turns that gloomy day into one filled with promise of goodContinue reading “The Sun Is Shining Inside And Out”

Now he’s sleeping again.

After such a hard day yesterday I decided to turn on DOGTV that my daughter had showed me a few days ago to see if that would do any good to settle Teddy down. OMG! I turned on the DogTV and Teddy got up next to me and started watching it. Then he calmed downContinue reading “I’m On Cloud Nine!”

Just had the first emotional breakdown I’ve had in quite a while. It’s so hard to have to watch this puppy constantly while visiting my daughter so he won’t have any accidents, or ruin her couch or carpet or play nip on the kids who were here over the weekend, or have to take himContinue reading “Emotional Breakdown”

Today is the 14th. Yesterday being the 13th would mark Ted’s nine month anniversary of his passing. This is the first one I didn’t remember and acknowledge.

But I think about others out there who stay in the same home and have everything the same, except the presence of their spouse. Is it harder to be reminded constantly that theyContinue reading “Accepting A New Life”

But sometimes I think he lets us get very close. Is He trying to make us stronger or does he give us a guardian angel that wasn’t paying attention? I feel like I have a good guardian angel so I can’t think that way. So maybe he is trying to make me stronger. There areContinue reading “He Says He Won’t Give Us More Than We Can Handle”

Well, I guess I traded in Human Ted for a Puppy Ted, or Teddy as I call him. So now I am raising a baby all over again, having to teach it everything. We are getting there slowly but surely. So glad I could finally shampoo the carpets yesterday to get rid of the TeddysContinue reading “Trading One For Another”
