The Long Journey

I heard it said life is a journey whether good or bad. I guess its up to the individual to decide if its going to be good. I have tried to find all that is good on my journey this past year to over shadow what some make think of as bad.

For the last year the journey has taken Laney and me to a place we never dreamed of.  Yes, I do have dreams of visiting Italy, lush tropical destinaions, or anywhere the sun shines a lot.  But, for now I am visiting a place that I never dreamed of and it is 1200 miles from my lifetime destination.

 It was a journey to help a loved one.  Someone very dear to Laney and me. The journey has produced lots of sunshine, a warm winter, and some beautiful flowers to view.  It is also a blessed place for us and many other people.  It is helping my husband, my soul mate and Laney's master.  So, ultimately it is a good journey, just one that I had not expected.

My Four Legged Friend Has A Name

My four legged friend has a name, it is Laney.  She was named by my children, who are still debating over who actuslly came up with the name.  Regardless. they picked a wonderful name.

I can't imagine her name as anything else.  Yes, Laney is a girl.  She can be quite the lady most days when she prances around with pride.  She has a way of stopping total strangers and getting an "Ah, you are so cute."  She delights in the attention.

She is truly a faithful dog to my husband and I.  Always there to bring a smile to our face and protect us.  She has given me a reason to keep living through some difficult times.   I would recommend a four legged friend for anyone, whether it be a dog, cat, or other pet.  A wonderful companion who never complains.
