It's been a hectic couple of years. I started my first blog about two years ago which coincided with my mother's diagnosis of lung cancer (sadly she was a life long smoker) and my 16 year old cat Cookie dying of throat cancer (no, he did not smoke at all). It then evolved to a journal of sorts. It was my coping mechanism which enabled me to stay strong thru the ordeal. A year later despite her courageous fight, she succumbed to the cancer that had spread to her brain. After she was gone my mind just seemed to be drained and I stopped blogging. Almost exactly a year later my father passed away, peacefully and without much ado. This past summer my other cat Tigger passed away at 15 years due to kidney failure. My 14 year old son who practically grew up with the mean and ornery orange tabby was devastated. We ended up getting a cockapoo puppy that we named Daisy to help with the healing.
A few months ago I started a new job and it was rough going for the first two months. (Hard to get used to that once a month paycheck! Whew!) Now that things are calming down, my creative juices seem to be bubbling again. So once again I plod along, just like this mallard duck I captured in a photo about 3 or 4 years ago at the pond at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA.
