I am thankful that when I feel frustrated or even a couple days ago when the pain of getting bit by the cat was overwhelming I felt these little arms surround me and support me. Happy Birthday Angel. You are something special.

Thankful for my kids.

Many people don't know I spent years in infertility. Three of my children are adopted. I am so thankful for each of them. And because I spent so many years trying to have children, I try not to take them for granted.

Mother's Day

This rings true for me.

Thankful for Mother's Day

When I get chocolate for breakfast!

Lost my dog

Today I ran through the rotary trail. I let Noah run off leash. He run up a head of me and I saw him go down to the water.
But when I got to the river's edge, he was not there. I looked and saw he was about 5 meters away and could not get up onto the bank. In a few minutes he would be swept out to the Fraser.
I called him and luckily he swam to me-- and I was able to grab his collar and pull him up out of the water. It was so scary and traumatic.
So thankful Noah is safe with me tonight. I love that Dog.
