Goood Morning !!
little dog is still alive and came and ate and drank. He was sound asleep in a neighbor's flowerbed. My joy is that he is alive one more day. I know however, this is just a bandaid over a gaping would - his chances of of survival are hopeless since no one can approach him.
My gut feeling is that this little creature of God was left to survive on his own by the house on the corner -he seems very familiar with that particular place.
My heart aches for situations like this. Today, it brings to mind the sufferings of humans that spend their day trying to find food to eat, water and shelter to get rest where ever they can find it - what an exhausting way to live from day to day !

It is amazing to me to see this little dog rally each day when I find him and call him to let him know there is food down. I want to pet and hold him close, take him in give him love that gets chipped away each day from him. Soon, he'll tire of the whole process and probably walk out into the street to put an end to it. I thought that was what he was doing two evenings ago. I was so proud of his intelligence that he did not go into Corporate Drive. But, he does, in fact venture out in traffic if I try and get too close (Less that a football field).

Today, I am grateful and thankful...
that Precious is safe and healthy
that caring has extended to humans for me today
that I realize the gifts God has Blessed me with
to be greatful and willing to share what I have been Blessed with
Saint Francis of Assisi and His over-sight of all God's creatures
The Grace of God in my life today
thank YOU

What a beautiful day the Lord has made today !!

Got my flowers watered and the little dog has not shown itself as yet today. He/she did eat the food left out last evening.

That precious little dog sure knows to stay out of Corporate Drive. I did give it a chance at all the first day I saw it.

Well, I simply could not contain my happy feelings to be alive, well, and happier than I've ever been in my life on my blog this afternoon.

I must get to work and, that is another joy in my life today as well. I have great hours, I get much done in my time prior to work, I am earning a full weeks pay now again, Plus, I get more and more hours because Microsoft is having more meetings at night now.

Plenty of time to utilize those hours for prayer and meditation !!

One little phrase has helped me more than I can believe of late...

Kathy, change your thoughts: change your life.

Happy Monday !

it has been awhile since I've made an entry. Life happens. My CPU was down for a time, a power surge took out my regulator (and surge protector). All fixed for less than $ 200.00.

I am Grateful and Thankful for...

Life, itself. It is marvelous to be alive, well and happy
to be sober, clean and smoke-free
for the little stray dog that let me feed and water it yesterday. That poor thing. It was so hungry and thirsty that after wolfing down a can and a half of cat food and a gallon of water, slept from sheer exhaustion and contentment
it appears the poor baby has been homeless for awhile. very thin, mangie looking, seems to know the 2 streets bordering mine, will not come near a person or let anyone approach it. I suspect that owners moved away and left it to fend for itself
that I have a soft heart for under-dogs of all types
for the safety and health of Precious
that the storm has blown over at work and that I have changed those self-defeating behaviors - one day at a time
for a gratifying day with my across the street neighbor - we celebrated Father's Day with a wonderful lunch together. Thank you Don for your company yesterday and Happy Father's Day, again !
for this wonderful coffee. For honey and the bees that are still making it
that I will work both shifts at work today. I have ceased grousing about extra work
to be happy, joyous and free,
thank YOU
