I love new pages too Pappy! And I like the way that this political candidate handled a very difficult question. That is a very wise response and I think that many of the past wrongs will be righted with this mindset about the past.

We are all turning a new page in our own stories each and every day… and each and every day is an opportunity.

Yesterday this mantra popped into my mind… and it was so good and relevant to what you have written here.

New day. New way.

Thank you for your friendship. You are like family to me as well.

P.S. A dog is man’s best friend… so I can completely understand how your feeling after that loss… it’s curious that even if a dog lives it’s full expected life we live on different timelines.

We can really learn so much about ourselves and this life from the love of a pet.

I hope that your feeling better about all of this… and that a new puppy will bring joy to your life soon.

There is so much pain to deal with in the past… but like you eluded to in this post… the past is un-empowering within the context of here and now. Even if this is where we came from and what has happened… we are all arrows shooting into the future.

All we can do is live and learn… let live… and let learn. Life and finality are all a part of this journey… and I think that having man’s best friend at your side really does make that journey better. ❤️🐕 yo
