You know when your teen leaves home for the first time, to go off to college, or to go traveling on a J1?
The dogs will always be there, waiting lovingly with that knowing wag of the tail when they return as new people, new individuals who have changed from that little girl or boy who once relied on you for everything, now unsure of their role in the home; But the dog will always be ready for them, in whatever shape or form or new personality that they now have become.
The Dog will always welcome them home.
The new adult will immediately feel at ease will a rub of the dog's coat.
All worries discarded.

In my quest to stay positive, I focus my brain each morning into admiring the beauty of life that surrounds me and to be grateful for another day of living. I know it's hard to get positive if you are a negative person like I was, but it can happen and it really does help. It takes a lot of work initially, but once you practice it each day, it comes easier.
I use my five senses on a basic level to help me be grateful; My eyes that I see the beauty of God's creation; My ears so that I hear the singing of the birds and the gentle or harsh blowing of the winds; My touch that I can feel the sun caressing my face; My smell that I can smell the fresh earth under my feet; My taste that I can taste the growth of the earth;
It really helps if you can get out and enjoy a walk while doing this, but if you can't, try see as much sky that you can from where ever you are.
Enjoy the innocence of children, their cries, their cuteness, their sulks, their beauty, their sleepless nights.
For it will be gone all too fast.

Well done Fairyhouse!
We went off to Fairyhouse Racecourse yesterday for the Grand National Day. It was the first glorious sunshiny day at easter time in years. I decided to play safe and go for all the favourites, I couldn't lose!
I placed my Euro's wisely on each horse and of course the favourites didn't win!
I knew they wouldn't. You see, when the first harsh years of the recession hit us here in Ireland in 2007, I decided I would try to win the lotto. Each week came by and I chose my numbers carefully. I counted favourite numbers with precision. I tried this for a full year before realizing that I wasn't going to win. God had a different plan for me. I knew this. I heard it in the back of my mind all the time.
He wanted me to earn my money, not win it. I firmly believe that. I felt he guided me towards writing. And of course I did start writing and I have my first book published on amazon as you know, 'My Beautiful flower'. And I am also writing other books too!
I wisely gave up on the lotto as I know that I would rather spend my few euros than lose them!
I enjoyed the day at Fairyhouse even after losing my 2 euros on each race. It was fun because my horses were in the lead most of the time so we had a bit of excitement and a giggle when they fell behind!
I also feel sorry for the poor ole horses, there's a lot of pressure on them to win a race!
Anyway the kids also had a great day as there were lots of entertainment for them also.

Good morning Easter!
It's another beautiful day of life! Thank you God!
Although I'm in my kitchen and the girls are all around me driving me crazy, I'm aware that when they are married and gone off to lives of their own, these precious moments when they are just mine, will be gone.
So I cherish the moment, the fuss, the mess, the demands, the noise.
My presence as the Mother, the Carer, the Nurturer, is a very important role to these kids.
I am grateful that I have found this awareness in my life at 48 years of age!
May each day I wake, I will walk in God's footsteps of love, kindness, compassion, acceptance, respect and gratitude.
