Today’s Quote

March 29, 2008 · No Comments

The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same.

Carlos Castaneda, 1925-1998
Peruvian-born Author

Thanks to the Circle of Grey for posting this quote. You are such a wonderful group! xoxoxo

A Poem

March 28, 2008 · 5 Comments

“From Friend to Friend” by Karen Clouston
You’re giving me a special gift, so sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days, your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing when your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts will only be in vain.

So looking deep into your eyes, beyond into your soul,
I see in you the magic that will once more make me whole.

The strength that you possess is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done, for it’s the only way.

That strength is why I’ve followed you and chose you as my friend,
And why I’ve loved you all these years…my partner till the end.

Please understand just what this gift you’re giving means to me,
It gives me back the strength I’ve lost and all my dignity.

You take a stand on my behalf, for that is what friends do,
And know that what you do is right. For I believe it too.

So one last time I breathe your scent and through your hand I feel,
The courage that’s within you to now grant me this appeal.

Cut the leash that holds me here, dear friend and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog, my pain and struggle done.

And don’t despair my passing, for I won’t be far away,
Forever here within your heart and memory I’ll stay.

I’ll be watching over you, your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I’ll run, a young dog once again.

        In Loving Memory of Lucy Sue, my beautiful Red Fawn Greyhound April 16th  2001 - March 27th 2008 Cancer Sucks.

A Prayer

March 23, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hear our humble prayer, O God for our friends the animals and especially for animals who are suffering, for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart and compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and to share the blessing of the merciful. - Albert Schweitzer

Good Friday….

March 22, 2008 · 1 Comment

Went by way too fast. I only completed two LO’s today!! Yikes!! At the same time; my greyhound required a lot of TLC today. Bad day for her. On the bright side, we are going to a vet that specializes in greyhounds tomorrow morning… 8AM….7 hours from now. Please wish us luck that he can help her!! (Its at the point of it needs to be fixed; or a VERY hard decision needs to be made; that makes me so sad to even think about)

On to better news:

I finished up my LO’s with my DT kit over at SNS! I still have more time to create more if I’m up to it tomorrow!! Yeah!!

I worked with the ZZ March Caliope Reverie Kit, it is so awesome! So awesome my kitty :hearts: these ribbons too!! I have no idea how many times I chased her around the house this month….who knew she had a passion for lace?
