Today I am thankful for "catch-up" sleep. After the past couple of weeks, between the schedule for the surgery, the disruption of normal routines for the puppy, her side-trip through the vet, my sleeping on the couch, and then of course the "fall back" time change and the election, waking from time to time to see the progress of the count... it felt good to have a couple of "normal" nights to sleep. And a few short naps, too!
I am thankful for a couple of sunshine hours yesterday, between the cloudy and drippy ones.
Ember got some new toys recently. I'm starting to learn which ones will be hits and which ones misses. The one in the photo is a crinkly one. The strap is like unto a leash, providing a "Mommy end" and the crinkle fleece is the "Puppy end". We don't exactly "tug", I flirt with her, she chases the flirt, catches it, and chews. Slowly, she and I develop our own little routines.
Oh, and my kid sis Alicia started training Ember to "shake". This is something that I never got her to do much. However, it has come in very handy in administering the medicated wipes on her paws. Another small thing to be grateful for.
Life is good. Spark on!
God gave each one of us two ears and one mouth- and this was for a reason. Think before you talk and act.

I find returning to basics in these "difficult days" is best for me. Basic gratitude for air to breathe, heat, hot water, food in the pantry, etc. I mean seriously, survival is the foundation!
