I'mmm Backkkk!

I'mmmmm Backkkk!  OMG 5 years I been gone WTF????

Fast track to 2017! LOL catching you up would take for ever.  But in a nutshell: A crazy few years of living outside what one calls "The Box", dealing with life, work, death of my lovely man Griff, and rebuilding and learning to fend for self.

Griff was killed riding his bike in January 2014.  I miss him and also very thankful for all the years we were together.  I know he watches over me in ways that make him chuckle and says "now Mum what you doing?"  And if he wasn't already dead I be giving him a heart attack with some of the things I done.

Becoming single really didn't change life that much, my self confidence has only gotten stronger, I have traveled lots, continued working as a Behavioral Specialist with the population of those with disabilities, and now a proud owner of a Standard Poodle who only adds to my laughter and joy about living in Alaska.

DOC

Doc is the man in my life and is now 10 months old.  He is also very handsome!!  This pic is the day I picked him up in Soldotna and drove 4 hours home with him crying...WAIT Crying is not the word I said back then...he howled, yelped and made such a noise even to this day I state NEVER AGAIN will I pick up a puppy and drive four hours listening to them cry for their mother.   lol they will be hand delivered to me.

I also made it to the magical age of being a Senior Citizen entitled to receive her full Social Security benefits.  That is simply amazing let me tell you.  I never thought I would make it to this age.

Ok I am Looking Forward to blogging once more. 

From my journey to Tel Aviv, Israel

Blue Sky - Dawn's Early Light

The sky was blue basking through the kitchen widow here and was drawing me to another world as I cleaned.  Not being able to resist I ran to get my camera and snapped this photo right through the screen and window.

Of course photoshop elements 9 enhanced the moment all that more.

I have been neglecting my blog the past few months but a simple goal for me is for more typing and more artwork. 

It's below zero here at the house I'm working and living at.  I'm surrounded in beauty that needs capturing! Makes working with the young lady a bit more pleasant on those days when she is misbehaving easier.

New Year Beginnings - Setting Goals

 2012

A new year begins.  Oh lordy keep me going cause I have a feeling I this is the year I've been waiting for a long time!

Being one who day dreams quite often and changes personal goals quarterly ~ my plans for this year are fairly consistent:

Save Money

Travel throughout Alaska

(see some of those remote cities by taking a coastal cruise & RV trip)

Travel Overseas

&

mostly just keep Enjoying my work with those who have Disabilities

Plus More Blog Writing

&

More Photography / artwork

Those sound like a lot of resolutions but their are not.  Well at least to me <G>

 

Just simple goals written down and now pasted to my wall here in the office.  Resolution fall by the wayside for me; where goals are obtainable!
