In loving memory of my best friend of five years. She was at my heals at every moment, I heard her every sound, and she heard mine. She became my habit, my love, my everything. I took her everywhere I could. I never stopped thinking of her and never stopped wondering what she needed. She became my every breath.
I took care of her as if she were my child…I clipped her toe nails, gave her baths, cleaned her ears, brushed her coat, ensured she had her anal expressions and when her kidneys seemed to be failing, I put her on a diet. I took her on walks, hikes, and runs. We traveled everywhere together. She was my all and when I got a job last year and she was out of my presence, I missed her. She was so happy to greet me when I arrived home and I her. She was playful, loving, aloof, royal, but no matter what, she was my baby. I expected 10-12 years and I got five. But I will take it, ‘cause that’s what I got. She was the best thing to ever happen to me….ever…my whole life. Baci Fiona Jana, I love you and I miss you with all my heart and soul...5 months later, I still cry almost every day.

New Beginnings
Holy long time no blog. Since I left my 8-year relationship with M&M, I moved 5 times, bought a house, been blessed with a wonderful job and got married (in our new front lawn -- see pic). Here are me and my husband, Stu. So happy...but a bit sad I have been away (guess I've been busy?)
Hope all of you are well and happy. I know I am. *smoochies*

To My Dear Friend
Shattered and broken,
Tainted and bruised by loss...for a brief time.
My soul to be touched by the warmth of yours,
But no more.
The future holds a dim gleam of hope, but
The days will pass as I place one foot in front of the other,
And breathe.
Until then,
Healing is wisdom and insurmountably so.
Relief is here knowing you will find happiness,
and I continue to find peace...
Always.

Purely Inspired
The gentleness of my hand touches your face and with a slight downward motion, I close your eyes.
I kiss you lightly and tenderly...
Then all that is heard are my footsteps exiting through the door at a quick pace not to turn back.
Closed and locked tightly,
I find myself as far away from the finality of its closure as I need to be.
Afraid, I hide; in a ball, I curl.
You open the door and saunter in…quietly and confidently.
You have found me.
Not to worry, my angel. Trust me and know all is meant to be.
Lifting my tear-stained face from the pillow, you place my concern into your heart.
I look into your blue eyes…and I know, without a doubt,
That I have finally found --
peace.

It's a New Day
She gracefully and humbly climbed into her hole. It was comfortable and away from life; away from others who might see her true self: poor, fostered by strangers, anxious, depressed. It was true solitude, though uncomfortable, sad, and lonely, it was the best place to be...for now. Crouched down, face between knees, the tears dropped one by one from the corner of her eyes onto her young skin. Silently a prayer was formed and sent to an upper being that would allow her to be able to see -- to see hope, love, and happiness.Then the pain subsided -- physical, emotional, spiritual -- and the sun peeked out from behind the sparse clouds in the sky.
One foot in front of the other, slowly, but surely she stood tall and again faced the world.
.................
A new day has dawned; her prayer answered.

April Fools'!
Because I lived in Topeka, Kansas for a stint while attending the University of Kansas, I thought it apropos to post this interesting tidbit in honor of April Fools' Day (coupled with the fact that this is a Google blog, and I have a Google email, of course).It is said that some believe that Google played this prank on readers because at one time in history, the mayor of Topeka, Kansas changed its city name to Google, Kansas for a month…for tourism!
I, for one, think this is nifty.

Diphthong
A gliding monosyllabic speech sound (as the vowel combination at the end of toy) that starts at or near the articulatory position for one vowel and moves to or toward the position of another. Being born and bred in Kansas, I get it. Those up north, I’m think’n...not so much.

Humor on a Monday
If you're going to drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
