Some hard times...

I have been avoiding my blog lately...yes it is true. Friday was a very hard day for me and I just haven't had it in me to put it down in words. Loved ones were lost (both canine) by my cousin's family and a co-workers family. A fear I have in the back of my mind that one day it will be my turn to lose mine. A job/career was lost and a life turned upside down because of it. I know its not my problem but he meant so much to me for so long and I don't like to see others in pain (no matter what the circumstances are).

It does show me how fragile we all are...how one day things seem okay and the next, they are not. You cannot be afraid to live and we should live life to the fullest but we should also be prepared if something does not go the way we had hoped or planned. Trust me, I have learned that lesson very well.

So, do me a favor, take a look around and be thankful for all that you have. Take an extra moment to hug someone you care about. Give a loved pet an extra treat or scratch. Then look at yourself and realized how blessed we are to have people who care about us because when things go wrong we need their support...
