Reflecting on the Flow of Life

October 22, 2026

It’s been an interesting couple of months. And it is why I’ve been quiet. Because of the flow of life. It started with a very unexpected event and hard fall in early August while walking the dogs.

Blowing Kisses in the Wind

July 12, 2022

You didn’t come to wake me this morning…you know when you come up before 6 am to tell me it’s light so it must be time to eat. We didn’t walk early, or go for your daily car ride…and last night I hurried home from the grocery to feed you…and you weren’t here. Then I […]

October 29, 2013

I miss you already. It’s been a day. the house is so empty and quiet without you here. No one talking to me when I pull into the garage. No one giving me the look because you want to eat. No one here licking your lips when I ask, “Are you hungry?” And no one standing here this morning, running in and out of the bedroom waiting, and waiting until I ask, “Are you ready to go for a walk?” and responding with a big tail wag and a jump up from your position on the floor.

Livin’ the Dream

March 28, 2011

By Lori Hanson It’s a cold, chilly, lackluster day. We woke to snow that has already melted, but the gray of the day is here with us and will remain in my heart for a while longer. Yesterday a very dear friend of mine passed away. Very suddenly. At the age of 58. It’s too […]
