I heard this quote on T.V. the other night and got on the computer to find the authors name. I am not familiar with this Woman work, but you can be sure I will be researching her. The longer I live the more I come to realize that growing up takes a long time. I am no longer sure when youth stops and age begins. Perhaps it is like the title of the book Luisa (The granddaughter Of My Soul) got me. It is entitled "Age Only Matters If You Are A Cheese". If in youth I learn, then I guess I am still young, but if in age I understand then I am old. Perhaps that makes me middle aged, if I live to be 144 that is.
It has been an interesting couple of days for me. I found out, in the strangest of ways, that one of the people who benefited greatly from my being terminated from my last job of more than 17 years, was terminated themself. Isn't life strange? I hope that this person invested as wisely as I did, however, I doubt it. Karma, you have to love it. Enough of that, I don't live there anymore, not even in my head.
Also one of our dogs, Poppy, who I introduced you to in an earlier blog, gave every indication of being ready to give birth Wednesday night. She was even lactating and somewhat dilated. I found this strange because aside from some weight gain no one had noticed any signs of pregnancy, of course we weren't looking either. What surprised me most that she had gotten pregnant at all. According to everything I know and have read when there is more than one female canine, and we have two, only the Alph female will concieve, that seems to be some kind of law of nature. And Poppy is definately not the Alpha female. Six, our German Shepherd is. Anyway, Tami, myself and Jon stayed up half the night just in case. In fact Tami slept downstairs on the couch just in case. Nothing happened. Even though Poppy's teats were hugely distended and leaking and she showed every sign of being close to giving birth. It is possible she had her litter stillborn, or she was suffering from a false pregnancy. Whatever, she is fine now and running around again. I find all of this an interesting phenomenon.
My son Michael and his wife Shelia were supposed to arrive this evening, however weather has cancelled their trip again. As much as I wanted to spend time with them I am glad they are not chancing the weather.
There has been so much snow and whiteouts this winter that I was worried about them driving here. And now I have something to look forward to next weekend. This awful weather can't last forever.........can it?
