Moment of truth...

  • if you saw your problems in a pile with everyone elses you would probably grab yours back.
  • all that really matters is that you loved
  • growing old beats the alternative--dying young
  • your kids get only one childhood.
  • forgive
  • frame every so called disaster with these words "in 5 years will this matter?"
  • no one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  • get rid of anything that isnt beautiful, useful or brings you joy.
  • Dont compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
  • its ok to let your kids see you cry.
  • Make peace with your past so it doesn't screw up the present.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick; but your family will, keep in touch!
  • Just keep taking that next small step.
  • Life isn't fair, but it's still good!

The newest addition to the family...yep officially I am crazy!




This is Maggie. Something in my mind made me believe that our existing family of 6 people, 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 fish and 1 ferrett just wasn't quite enough. So we got Maggie. A Beagel-Bassett hound cross, super cute, super sweet and yeah super dumb. I shouldn't say that, she isn't really dumb, she just really doesnt listen...at all. not the annoying doesn't obey commands, she doesn't listen to anything at all...if it werent for the fact that occasionally she responds I may think she was deaf... but im quite sure its just pure stubbornness and not caring that she doesn't listen. Its a good think she is so sweet, because we all love her anyway!
