Where Have I Been

I’ve been a bit MIA these past few days. With my Tuesday blog somewhere out in blogging space and no blog on Wednesday. I thought I should catch you up on where I’ve been and what is going on. It’s easy to let things get to you. It’s not easy to brush things off your shoulder and let it all go. Lately, no secret I’ve had a heavy load to pull around. Along with lots and lots of decisions to make and then live with that decision I’ve had some things I’m not ready to share. Good or Bad I always stand by what I put my stamp of approval on.

As I enter one of my most favorite times of the year I’m sorry to say I’ve been a Grinch. I’ve complained about the holidays because I’ve gotten behind and that isn’t normally me. The past few weeks that heavy load I’ve carried around got to me and I let it. I decided I needed a restart, time to think about a few things and reboot my thoughts, heart and dreams. I loaded a bag got in my truck and drove to Waco. I can’t explain why Waco is such a safe haven for me it just is. I have some lovely friends there that make me feel happy and calm. I love the slow pace and the warmth of the people. It just calms my soul to be there. Greg knew that is what I needed he didn’t question it when I said I needed to go. It wasn’t I want to go, it was I need to go. We only went for one night but oh how much better I feel. Greg and I talked all the way there about plans, up coming decisions, growing old and what is around the corner for us. My favorite time was laughing with Greg and making fun of each other. That we did a lot of but I can’t tell you much about that because I’ll look really stupid.

Greg told me he wanted to give me a very special gift this year. One that would bring great joy to our home. No I’m not pregnant! So today Greg drove me to Terrell Texas to pick up that special gift. We now have a very special poodle mix puppy added to our family. He is just adorable and a great additions to our family. I have missed having a large dog in my home for the past 7 years. My Cedric died 7 years ago and we haven’t had the heart to get another large dog. I love the security you have when there is a large dog to warn you what is outside. It had to be a poodle mix because of my allergies and Greg spent hours trying to find a dog mixed with poodle that wasn’t from a puppy farm. He did an amazing job! So here he is, please meet “Waco”. The name was simple to come up with and it fits him perfect he is calm and loving. I feel relaxed around him. Cooper is not so exciting, but he will warm up.

No worries I’ll be back to blogging project on Friday and WOW what a project. I’m gonna show my start time, progress through the day and my finish time. I want to prove to you how easy it is to remake a piece in our home in one day. I hope your week was beautiful and full of Blue Happiness. My head is clear, my choices are firm and 2018 will be full, oh so full.
