I can't believe that it is already the end of November! Checking my blog I realized that I had been absent from blogging for a while. At the end of September my grandmother passed away and I traveled to Europe to be with my family. A couple of weeks later I traveled again, a trip that was planned for at least 6 months. So, it seems like I kind of missed out on October!
Thanksgiving - this is a great day to "stop and smell the roses." That is exactly what I did this morning. My life has drastically changed over the last few months. I went from working full time as an employee, to working on starting up my own business and doing a lot of volunteer work. I had a lot of fun helping with the Patriot Gala, which raises funds for injured soldiers and for survivors of fallen soldiers. And a big bulk of my ongoing volunteer work is devoted to - guess what? - DOGS! Carolina P.A.W.S. and the "A New Leash on Life" program keep me busy. It's too bad that I can't live of my volunteer work!! I am not complaining about that, it is actually quite the opposite. I am very grateful for being able to do what I enjoy. I am also very grateful for all the support I receive from my husband (who has been very tolerant of all the dogs coming and going), my friends (who still come into my house although they never know what to expect) and my family (who believes that I can't fail at anything).
Have a wonderful Holiday Season!
