Pause

I bought this cup because a new friend recently told me that my 2 dogs would be better of in the dog pound than in my back yard. Her 1 small dog is pampered, inside, walked twice a day (at least) and a very close companion.  My 2 come in at night (if I make it home before 11 pm) and we play, otherwise they are in a semi-large pen with a decent shed and 2 shade trees.  The cup reminds me to spend more time with them. And to appreciate them more.

But, everything in life has a connection if we allow it and I was hit between the eyes over the phrase the day after I bought the cup.

I was so busy with something I felt was important that I overlooked someone close to me who was dealing with something more important. Bark, bark, push, pull, argue, argue back – bam.

These blogs don’t mean anything if I cannot live them out in my own life. I failed ladies. I failed big time.

I should take better care of those around me who look to me for safety and security. I don’t do this very well, never have.

So, I’m hitting the “pause” button until I work some things out. I’ve said before that each time I blog about something I’m held to a higher accountability over it – well, I must have hit a nerve last week because the enemy kicked my blank.  I’m retreating off the battlefield to rest, rejuvenate and re-examine my motives before I contine to type words on a page that can club me.

I’m not sending my dogs to the pound and I’m not giving up !  I’m just re-examining everything.
