So it is no secret about how I love animals more than people.  They love you no matter what!

Anyone that has a Facebook account will occasionally receive a post that has a post that you shared come up as a memory.  Well that happened today and I cried!  In September of 2020, I had to have my long haired Chihuahua put down because he was in pain and I couldn’t stand to see him suffer. The memory that came up today was from 11 years ago and we were living in Emory.  I had lost my beagle Dixie and I took Dooley from my nephew Nick.  He was so cute and cuddly, but I also had a dog that was over 100 pounds in the same house so it was very interesting.  Dooley would sit between my feet when the other dogs were running around and trying to get him to play.  It was fun times, but it was not a memory that I really needed to see this morning.  I was talking to my husband and I told him what was showing and I started to cry.  It seems I do that more these days then laugh.  Those are special memories though and some were funny as well of the dogs playing.

It is funny how those memories resurface more than the really truly happy ones lately.  

I have a picture of my granddaughter as my wall paper on my computer so that always makes me smile when it comes up.  I miss her something terrible these days.  We are all working and we don’t get to spend any time together.  I have the memories from the day she was born and I will never forget those and they are truly special memories.

Thursday night after Norman got home and we were eating dinner and I stated that I can’t figure out why I don’t have as much time to spend on the podcast as I did before.  He looked at me and said, honey you weren’t working a full time regular job.  Your podcast was your full time job.  I just stared at him, because that was the reality.  I guess because it took me a while to get it all set up and then the restart and at that time I was doing 3 episodes a week and some specials too! Those are good and bad memories, but they show me that I can be creative and accomplish something to share with people as well. 

 Memories put you through many emotions.  Happiness, sadness, wonder, awe, fear, love, loneliness – the full range.  You have memories from your childhood, memories of times when you were in school, friends that you had from school and your cousins and family get together and holidays before the bad things happened and the evil invaded your life.  

You make memories every day!  Every moment of every hour of every minute a new memory is created.  Emotions are a part of that process.  True sometimes we don’t like the emotions that it triggers, but memories are there to help us.  Today, I guess I needed that memory.  Maybe it is God trying to direct me to what and where I’ve always wanted to be.  I don’t know.  But I won’t ignore the emotions or that particular memory.  Enjoy those memories and make memories with family and friends as often as you can.  That might be all we have to get us through these next few months, years.
