And...

Well, well well.... it's been nearly a month since my last post. I sure haven't been here much lately. I think I'm at a point where I can be a little more... there was quite an adjustment after coming home from Los Angeles. I'm not sure if I wrote this in an earlier post or not, but part of why I was avoiding writing here is because I was offered a job at the school in L.A., and I was working through my decision on that. I usually keep things to myself until I know for myself what I want inside of me. It's too easy to get influenced by others' opinions. Now, I did tell a few of those closest to me, and who I was able to talk to, about it. So, when I was there in L.A. I decided I would take the job, as I needed to make a decision. Then by the end of school I was having hesitations, and then once I got home it became quickly very clear that it was best for me to stay here where I am in NC for the time being. I know it was a great opportunity, but it didn't feel right. There were many reasons, and I'm really happy with the decision I made. Now it's on to finding a job for the meantime while I practice working with dogs. I think I'll stay here in my little trailer in the country probably until the fall... then we'll see.

Spring is here and it came immediatley... it went from winter to HOT! Crazy. But now it's evening out and so nice to see the changes... the birds are singing, plants are starting to grow, trees are starting to leaf out, it's warm (halleloujah) and much more enjoyable.

The dogs are doing well... Zeppelin has started to look a little older in the past week or so. There is just an old look in her eyes. She is generally as happy as she usually is, with a few grumpier times. She's a little stiffer and the hair around her nose has turned whiter. I love her. Petunia has lost some weight (thank goodness, and thanks so half diet food and a regulated amount). She's been much more expressive (talkative) and excited lately- I think the weight loss is helping her to feel better. Schmug is up for a new name... any suggestions? He's growing a little bigger, filling out a little, learning manners and how to bring his excitement down a little when he gets real worked up. He loves the horses in the pasture. He stares at them out the window all day. The cats are doing well, the kittens are growing up and Iz is outside most of the time now that it's warmer except for naps inside (they all are).

I'm so excited that the ceremony season is here and there are times to be together with community... Rainbow Eagle is coming this weekend for teachings, at the Garden and he's to speak and give the opening ceremony at the Coptic Conference. Spring Ceremony is next month. :)

Well, not too interesting, but that's what I've got to write today... I'll write again with more of other subjects....

I hope you all are well out there.... :)
