simple joys of life

Last week seemed to be a very tough week for me. Emotional moments and the feeling that my life was surreal. I look forward to Sundays. They are a time that is set aside to spend with the girls.....usually just sharing a meal and talking. No big plans or events..just connectiong with the ones I love. Funny how just being in the same room with the ones you love, is more enjoyable than most anything. Marissa has a new puppy. His name is Puggles....a mixture of a pug and a beagle. He never tires of playing fetch and always wants to lick and kiss you. I played with him for hours and can honestly say, it was like being like a little kid again. The joy the puppy gave me watching him run across the yard to fetch a ball or toy....looking at me with those beautiful eyes and just feeling his warm body while he tried to lick me. A simple day, playing with a puppy was so nice to give me a reprieve from the worries of life .....from the worries of cancer. A day of normalcy.
