Ember in snow

So I couldn't resist posting this picture I took of Ember, my youngest pup yesterday. Her great grandmother celebrated her 16th birthday yesterday! She was my first golden retriever and a real testament to the breed. Don't forget to hug a senior! Dog or otherwise...it will lift their spirits!

creating

Sometimes, we have days where we just need to sit and contemplate where we are at in life. With the passing of another aunt of mine in a one month period, a moment of thought is only natural.I think about finding small things to appreciate in a day that seems negative. Appreciation for the breath of life and the ability to create.What I create tomorrow is yet to be born. How cool is that! To wake each day and create something that was not on the earth the day before. That is art.
