It Happens...

Nobody told me they'd be days like these...

Sometimes the best thing we can do is ride out the storm.

We all have days which seem intolerable and at times more

than one person can handle.  I for sure know this for a fact.

Every so often I feel like saying "the heck with it", and walk away.

Then there is Arvid and Brutus.  Both looking at me when I am in one of these rages.

Does not happen often.  That is good.  They look at me with these big

eyes and wonder what the heck is wrong with her.

The other day Arvid said to Brutus, "be careful around mommy.  She has

a knife in her hands and a killer look."  Now that of course made me laugh.

Everything else at that point started to look better.  Life is not always

easy.  Heck most times it is downright difficult, but it almost always

looks better if we approach it with the right attitude.

There have been a few times Arvid has also been fed up with 

things and I was the one to help him through this crisis.  It's nice

to have someone you can count on.  That someone can be just about anyone

who knows you and knows how to lift your spirits and does not walk

away from you in the toughest moments of your life.  For me it's Arvid and Brutus!

Wishing you good times and good days ahead.

There are days when everything seems wrong,

when little things hurt you for no reason.

But then there are days like today; when the world just sings to you,

from the minute you open your eyes in the morning 

to the minute you shut them again at night...

One Of Those Days....

I am having one of those approach with caution days..

consider yourself warned...

Living in Florida dark skies, thunder and lightning are nothing unusual especially in

 the summer months.  Over the weekend we were out and most of the time there

was lightning flashing in the sky.  I thought it was a pretty interesting sight.

I did manage to snag a few pictures as we were leaving, but with Arvid that

is not the easiest of chores.  He does not see why I need to get a picture

of lightning flashing.  Rather than explain the why to him, I decided it was 

best we left. After all, "you don't want want to be struck by lightning" said Arvid.

Guess he has a point there.  Yesterday was spent catching up on bookkeeping.

Something that was a bit neglected while we were in Chicago.  Making the numbers add

up was a little of a challenge and though I still have some more matching up

to do, I am slowly getting organized again.  

As for Brutus, well it's really hard to tell what's going on.  When we came

back home to Florida it seemed as if things were heading in the right direction.

His swelling had gone down, though he was still not healed.

Now the last few days, it has started to look bad again.  The bottom of his paw

is again bloody.  He takes his medicines daily and while in Chicago it

was helping.  Now I am starting to think that there may be something

in our home that is causing him to get worse.  He is so good.  He just 

lays as I wrap a warm cloth around his paw.  Seems he knows it's for his own good.

After finding a Pharmacy that can make his medicine, I was a little more optimistic.

Always hoping for the best for him.  Both Arvid and I are constantly making 

sure he does nothing to hurt himself more than necessary.  Some days we get a little

 discouraged when we see his paw, but most days we are optimistic that it is helping him.

Yesterday was one of those days I was a bit down because of this.  Brutus was 

also a bit moped out as well.  Arvid always wanting to cheer me up suggested

we take a little trip this weekend to a place we really like called Isla Morada.

As of right now, I don't feel like going anywhere.  Not with Brutus like this.

Really do not wish for him to miss a single day of his medicines.

Another new day is here and another chance for things to go right.

Wishing you all a good day and remember to remind yourself,

"I will be grateful for this day"

After all, tomorrow is another day...
