today, well today is just like any other day. i woke up at 6:30 just as i did yesterday and just as i will tomorrow. i will go to work and come home from work, just as i did today and just as i will tomorrow. i will go to sleep tonight and repeat this all over again tomorrow just as i have done everyday and will continue to always do. i have been thinking, what if i could not longer say today, if today was suddenly taken away from me and i no longer was here to think or say it. every day is so short and could be taken away from any of us at any moment. i then began to think how many “todays” have i spent in the past or the future? “i am so excited for tomorrow”, “i wish it was still yesterday”. i feel so many times i have wasted the day away and not been grateful for all the little moments i get to experience. i have decided i have taken “today” for granted. many of you if not all of you have probably had that eerie realization of just how short life is and that someday every single one of us will be gone. but this thought is more than that. the thought of: what if my life has not been fulfilled to all it could have been because i have been stuck in my head, being too “busy”, too preoccupied to realize all the beautiful things around me. sometimes i could have put some of those things that were making me “busy” aside and concentrated on the people in my life (and dog), the ones that i care about and live for. i am challenging myself to make my “today” count, my “today” matter and no longer leaving it in yesterdays garbage or throwing it over for tomorrows dreams and wishes. for no soul knows when their today will be their last and they can no longer say tomorrow. so if to no one else, i am promising today that tomorrow will be more appreciated and be always grateful for each day as they come. 
i would love to hear your thoughts, don’t hesitate to share! 

4 dogs views of our lives lately

April 9, 2012

Miscellaneous

the past little bit we have been house sitting and watching four dogs (including kramer) and three cats for my dad. oh man, what else can i say but that it is a wild time for us. i think the sound i heard most often was “ruff .. bark .. ruff .. bark .. bark” and the sounds they heard most was “dogs! stop barking!!” i’d like to say i never lost my temper and kept my cool but if dogs could speak they would tell you this was not the case. we went on some walks to wear down their never tiring energy and kramer rekindled his love with the mace-a-mace (macey the dachshund dog) it seemed there were never enough hours in the night for sleep and many hours in the day for play. this is not to say that we did not have our times of much fun as well.  cam and i went to our favorite little date night restaurant, lone star taqueria, and sat outside, although it was much too cool, and drank mango juaritos with lime while eating nachos piled high. we also got around to seeing the movie hugo while sharing cappuccino gelato with chunks of shaved chocolate. we enjoyed giggling at kramer and macey’s version of playing which consists of a lot of chasing each other, talking and and play biting (i have a video that i will try and get up this week). i got some very pretty yarn in the mail which i am excited to start using. i love the colors. today we drove up to a ski resort to get treats and drink hot chocolate while watching skiers come dow the hill. it’s little things like this that make mine and cam’s relationship grow where we can relax and have the chance to just talk about really anything. 
i am so glad to be back in our bed tonight in a quiet home with our little family and hopefully a restful night to come. however i will look back on our little week with sweet memories and possibly a couple giggles. as for now i say good night to you all and hope all your weekends were wonderful. 
p.s. dad i apologize for the dogs on the couch:)
