It's been a long while... It's been an outrageous year.

Work was crazy, family was even more crazy... Sister got married. Her new husband is awesome. My social life was quiet at best. Thought I met a great guy, but he was too damaged to even try. So a little ways into the new year, I added a new member to my family. An 8 week old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Danu. She literally brought a light back into my dim life. She has been a challenge and a joy, and I am so grateful for her presence. At times when life swirls to hard in my brain, I forget to "smell the roses." Danu has certainly given me an anchor point. Her needs as a puppy have helped me regroup and engage my life again...
