Real Happiness

My real happiness is my life with my dog.Gracie has been my best friend,confidant,protector and mood enhancer for the last 5+years.There was a life of "before"Gracie that was filled with unhappiness,sadness and such deep and dark depression that my world was literally,BLACK.With Gracie being apart of my life I have found the person I am and have kept my demons in check.For those of us who suffer from Depression,a dog can be the bridge back to a life of color and joy.It is a process,one I am learning every day.Nothing worth having comes easy.You must work for it.

Saturday

I was hoping that the tiredness that had come on yesterday,was just a fluk,that maybe I was tired from not sleeping well the nite before.But,that does'nt seem to be the case.Today,walking any distance is a strain on my legs and feet,my legs ache as though I have over extended myself.And,that is far from the case.I tis as though in my sleep I did some type of battle,every bone and muscle is strained,and it is again a battle to keep myself focused.I usually take Gracie for a walk in the afternoon,we both look forward to it,especially Gracie,but then she is a dog and relys on me to take her out for her walks.Today I just don't have the energy.And that really upsets me.I have started to really look forward to those walks around the sub-division.I put my walkman w/ phone on and off we go,around the block in the division and then out on the outskirts next to the main road.Gracie nevers pays much attention to me,she is always too intent on her walk and smelling all the plants and grass.And of course she wants to be let loose to run,but that is one thing that I am uncomfortable with.I know that Gracie will not take off,this is the only homeo bed and hope she has ever know ,and she is treated like the Pricess she is.There is NOTHING that Gracie is denied.I have to keep myself going,not just for her,but for me too.I have cut out ALL drinking,running around,and late hours.And I can slowly feel my body comeing back to a more managable rtythm,.I just took some medication  to mellow out so that I  can get a good night sleep.

Website Problems

summerbuddy posted a photo

I finally got up the nerve to start my own website a few months ago.Being the novice that I am,it took a few tries to finally find a place where I could get help building my site,as well as good exposure.It took me a few weeks to get everything on the site,ads,photo's,articles ect.It is still kind of rough,but it is starting to look better,I work on it a few times a week,putting new content on,changing the ads around,the photo's ect.I did go to all the search engines and sign my page up,I need traffic to make money.I'm not delusional,I know it might take months to start getting any traffic on my site.I'm just going to keep trying to make it better as I go along.This week I put recipes for homemade dog food on my site.I plan to do that every week,2-3 new recipes each week,plus tips on how to feed your dog a well-balance diet.I put a donation button from pay-pal on my site,who knows,someone might want to donate to the site and all the work that goes into it.I am just going to keep praying and leaving it in the Creators hands.Creator always answers my prayers,I just don't disrespect him by not having 100% faith in him.Things will work out for me and my website.

Rain


There is;nt much going on ,at least not at the moment.I'm tired,it's been a long day,and I have'nt slept very well the past week or so.It's one of those weird stages you go thru as you get older.I din't feel 45,soon to be 46,but,then I've never been this age before so I have nothing to compare it to.It's been really windy the last two days,and the wind cuts right thru you.I would much rather have rain,that I can deal with.My dogs get a little bummed,because they can't/won't go out in the rain.I can't fault them for that,I don't like to be out in the rain either.I love the rain,it cleans the air,aliitl,and it smells so fresh and clean afterwards.

The Days Are gettin Better

My mail has finally straighten out.I am starting to get things,the mail is just very slow.And the Postal Service wonders why more people are emailing nowdays.DUH!Went over to a friends house to pick up some money that was owed to me,so at least my account has something in it.I kind of obsess on it,worry when I don't have at least 40.00 in it at all times.You never know when there might be an emergency.I also went to Pet Smart and picked up a big bag of dog food.I was almost out,I never let Gracie's food get low enough that she only has a day or two left.That's just cutting it too close.God-forbid that something happens and I can't get to the store before her food container is empty.I also recieved a book with home-made dog-food recipes in it.I wanted to have something as a back-up in case the dog food gets bad again,like it did last year.I looked thru the book quickly and saw quite a few really easy recipes that I can do.Doggie cookies and meatloaf for dogs.I just want to be able to give my girls the best.In everything.

My Girls Are Important


I have been really lagging in my posts.But,I'm back.For how long I'm not sure.Oh,the picture is of my 2 girl's,Gracie is the black and white german short-hair pointer and the black one is Sonic,she's a mini pincher/chiuahua.I would not be able to get thru the day without my girl's.Things have been really screwy the last 10 days.My wallet was stolen by this pyscho,who I thought was my friend.I found out too late that she has gone over the edge mentally.I know she stole it because she was grabbing other stuff of mine as someone was showing her the door out of the house.She claims that my wallet was stolen by my daughter,except my daughter was'nt in the room when it came up missing,I looked every where for it,before my daughter even came out of the room.She is so out of it,that she does'nt even remember taking it.She won't let my son visit with me unless I stop calling her a theif and talk to her so she can apologize,like that's ever going to happen.I just want her to stay out of my life,friends don't steal,lie or attack friends and she has done all and more to me,I just cut my losses.She can't stand the fact that my son and I get along really well.I gave her guardianship of my son when he was born because I was in some legal trouble,if I had only known that she would lose her mind,I would have sent him somewhere else.My mail got screwed up last week and I can't prove it,but I would'nt put it past her to do something crazy.Nothing she does surprizes me anymore.From phone calls at 4am to ranting about not buying the right socks.She does all this to R,her ex,who is also my son's foster father,the only father he has ever known.I stay at R's house,until I get on my feet,which will be soon!I guess things were going just a little too smoothly for me these last few months,Creator thought I needed a shake-up.Boy did I get one!Like I said at the beginning of this post,if it were'nt for my 2 girls,I would be a mess all the time,with my girls I can deal with anything.
