“Life isn’t over

this is just the start

this moment

this calm

quiet

serene

gently floating

freeing

finally, being“

Loved this section, Jane!

Such awakening, Jane, in more sense than one.

Thanks so much, Darcy. It almost makes it worth it getting up so early. I need my coffee, sunrise, cats and writing hour!

I got back from seeing my mom in Arkansas but the sunrises there were GREAT every morning the weather allowed. I always forget how beautiful it is and how quiet it is in the country.

Jane Deegan's avatar

That's sounds wonderful! I've never been to Arkansas but my parents lived a few years there. I hope your mom is doing well.

Paul McCutchen's avatar

She is doing great. She will be 97 in November.

Jane Deegan's avatar

Wow 97! That's wonderful!

This sunrise is a gift. My Alvin . English. Black. Labrador. Rises. Brave. Stoic. Sling under belly. Limbs struggling . Pride . Some success. Stands for breakfast. Lays . Always. At my feet.

They are a gift and our pets are too. Bless your faithful friend.

He will be 13 June . Appears 6 . Last week usually flies into back seat . He fell on his hind legs. I attempted again . Same. His limbs limp as polio . Vet. Painkillers. Anti inflammatory. Da works . He didn’t “do”his biz for 3 days . Most importantly pee. Sunday Eve Vet “he’s shutting down if he doesn’t it’s his time .” Monday Morn. Husband. I . Alvin. Out door. Chilly morn . HE DID IT ALL 🎼🎼🎼. Miles before he sleeps.

Jane Deegan's avatar

I'm so sorry, Jennifer.

Jennifer Ward Dudley's avatar

We are joyful. He’s rising bit by bit. Despite Vet negatives. God is good. All the time
