The love of pets

This has been a very sad few days for me...my family dog will be put to sleep tomorrow. It is amazing that I knew it was going to happen in the near future, but I was still so hurt with the news. She is almost 19-years-old, so she has lived a wonderful, full life. I went over yesterday to see her. She wasn't the same, which make it slightly easier to let go...but I am having a difficult time anyway. I have felt that the last few days were surreal. This is the time when I am most certainly praying...

Getting worried...

On Friday, I attended a birth doula workshop with Penny Simkin. To make a long story short, she asked me to send her the birth stories I had collected from my family for possible publication. I couldn't believe it! I compiled a mass email and sent it to all of my family. Do you know how many people I have heard from? Nobody! I am not sure what to think...I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but I am a worrier by nature. I am so thankful for this opportunity, but I can't do it without my family's approval and support. Sheesh...

First Blog

I have spent a good portion of this weekend reading some of my friend's blogs. I think that I may have finally realized the importance of having one. I guess everyone can use a place to vent, share, and dream. I am off to the Indigo Girls concert, so hopefully this will be a habit of mine.
