Summer break has finally arrived! Whew! My tiny space is coming together, beginning to feel like home, and my dog has adapted well to the space. She’s such a fierce bundle of joy. I hope to have her for longer periods of time. She is usually with my ex, as he works from home. I didn’t want to leave her alone for 8+ hours while I worked. I miss her, as we truly were attached at the hip. That’s Poppie below. There are no personal boundaries with a doxie.
I’ve had a couple of days to sit on the other side of a busy year. I became someone I didn’t recognize, an irritable, moody shell. I read some of my past posts and cringed. Some have been deleted. Slowing down is a gift to be savored. Perhaps a shift is on the horizon. I trust in divine wisdom and that clarity is yet to come.
Last night I took a stroll around the neighborhood. The scent of jasmine is lovely this time of year, and the neighborhood is heady with it! There was a nice summer breeze, like that Seals and Croft song,
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind.
I plan to catch up on some blog reading soon. Gosh, it’s been a while. Happy writing, and wishing you a stellar day!

so happy to hear MJ! and what???you’ve got jasmine in the neighborhood??? that’s so awesome! my grandmother used to grow jasmine in the house I grew up in and i’ll tell you, sometimes in the summer I would just sit out in the backyard at 3 in the morning and the scent of it combined with the subtle light of the moon…there was just no words for it. i have been trying to replicate it ever since! so to hear you enjoy it is a joy – my friends loved coming over for that reason too!
glad to hear Poppie’s enjoying herself 🙂 again, very happy for your summer break – ENJOY YOURSELF and get some much deserved relaxation! Mike
