For the continued health and happiness of my family and friends.
For having a roof over my head and food on my table.
For nearly eleven wonderful years with my beloved labrador, Maya, who passed away in April.
For my new dog, Maisie, who is a ball of pure, unadulterated love.
For being able to spend time with the people I love.
For being financially secure enough to donate time, food and money to people who need it.
For my college graduation being on the horizon and graduate study at my dream school in the immediate future.
PalJoey, what an exquisite creature! My Maya was blind for the last two years of her life, but she managed extremely well. I am continually in awe of animals and their ability to adapt to the aging process.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
