What's Been Going On?

Welcome back. It has been more than six months since I have posted here. Thank you for continuing to check and follow.

I do not have a really good excuse for not writing. All I can say is something happened last year when Drew died. I spent so much time taking care of that little black dog. I wrote while she slept. She slept most of the time. I was always aware of where she was and listening for her to awaken. Somehow, during this time, I think my writing became tied to her. When we lost her, I think my writing became part of that sadness.

Losing Drew after 18 years was extremely difficult. Indescribable. Yes, I know she was a dog. I cannot describe the guilt I have felt because I mourned this little dog more than I mourned some of the human friends and family in my life. Some time ago, I would miss her for days. Now, I miss her in moments, but there is rarely a day that goes by when I don't think about her.

A year ago a new four-legged friend came into our lives. Mollie the Miniature Schnauzer is everything Drew, in her old age, was not. Mollie is active, happy and the sweetest little dog in the world. In our household, it's hard to get up sad, tired or in a bad mood when you have this little silver dog wagging her whole body to greet you "Good Morning."

With the exception of the past year, I have been writing all of my life. Now, I am ready to write again.
