For me ENTIRE life it has been drummed into my head
that I need to be flexible,
that my goal in life is to find a way to
conform, to mold, to rearrange every atom in my body
to fit the situation I am in in order to
make other people feel safe and secure.

WHY would you expect that sort of ‘elasticity’ from anybody in your life?
RDP Wednesday: ELASTIC
RDP Prompt: The Day After
The Day after Christmas
just as my alarm went off this morning
and before I even opened my eyes
I wondered if it was going to snow, eventually
I wondered if I should have eaten more instead of less.
I took a breath-just a little breath- and then
I opened my eyes, and I asked myself
the most important questions of all:
How many days is it until Halloween?
After losing two of his dogs suddenly in the last few years, my cousin and Lexus ( X-Man ) came into each other’s lives.
Lexus is John’s pride and joy even though he had all the makings of John’s other champion show dogs, Lexus seemed to take on the role as a companion and was a couch dog.
Lex was a big dog but he really was John’s little boy.

My cousin passed away in May.
He was grooming Lexus when his heart failed.
When they found John shortly after his heart attack, Lexus was laying next to him- of course Lexus knew John had passed on but he stayed with him all the same. I’m sure Lexus heart was broken, I’m sure he knew when it was that my cousin had truly left. I felt sorry that Lexus would never be able to tell his story.
But as I thought about John and Lexus I remembered that I’ve sat with friends and family who had passed on or were in the process of leaving us and the thoughts I’ve had I’ve never really shared with anyone because words can’t capture that moment and maybe they’re not meant to.
I suppose then, that Lexus doesn’t need to say a word.
I know how he feels.
John and Lexus
RDP SUNDAY MEDITATE
All of my besties have had four legs, giant hearts and more kindness in one toe bean then exists in the entire Universe.
I know. I am lucky- and more grateful for them then I can put into words- so I’ll share pictures of them instead.
Hamish Macbeth- he is truly a gift from the Gods.
