Working on my list. I have all the things written down that I would like to do for me. Whether they be things that are good for my soul, health, or just make me feel beautiful. Some days you just have to give yourself some love!

I'm finally settling into my new house and relocating. I'm really missing my San Diego peeps and would love to fly back there for pride. I just can't find anyone that I trust to tak care of my dogs. I have a little while... But they are my priority....

I am training my dog, Lily, to rise above her natural predator drive.
I think it is starting to work. This morning she started to go after the neighbors cat and I was able to stop her and ask her to sit. It took a couple of corrections but she was able to maintain. This is progress because before we started formally working on the issue she couldn't even hear me when there was a small fast moving thing about, let alone a cat.

I think that there is no short cut to this. I just have to keep putting her in situations where her predator drive is triggered and ask her to focus on me instead of what all of her nature is telling her, oh and carry high reward treats with me.

It is a big responsibility having a dog with a high predator drive and a lot of bite force, I guess the training and refining never stops.
(She is an American Bulldog/Boxer mix)

I don't know how many here are on the political track of what's going on with the government or the police brutality, but my son sent me a video that he made on youtube and it's absolutely mind boggling how bad things have gotten over the last 10 years.
I'm frightened for the teenagers of today and the parents of tomorrow. What they face is scary at best.
I pray for our future and the future of those being born today.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and your concern.

We found out that my daughter is Anemic! She is receiving medication to remedy the problem, along with Iron supplements on an on-going basis. Who knew it could cause so many problems!

On My mind..customer service...or lack thereof. I am trying to be patient and wait for this return call. However, I have a deadline..and it impacts My dream taking place. I know, I know if the deadline is missed it will only push Me back a week...but god, I have been looking forward to this. I hope the return call comes soon.

In the midst of it all...I still smile...I have good reason...I am blessed beyone measure....and the best part of it it all...is that I realize it.

What is on my mind is keeping positive through hard times...

... getting this house in order... finally...

... what to do with my time since my summer visitor is no longer coming...

... songs from RENT...

... how excited I am to be in this production, and how rewarding it is already...

... disappointments... but those will settle eventually.

On My Mind:

First, that the delay in starting the University is fixed. So, My start date will be pushed back just a week. A minor setback. However, it had Me feeling some type of way (and not in a good way). But, all is well now.

How truly fortunate I am at this spot on My life. I could not ask for more, nor will I. I just take things as they come. Good or bad. It is all in what you do with it.

A recent conversation of how money is not the important thing in our worlds.. it is about quality time with those you love. Sometimes you just need to have that perspective. Money is just that.. money. What happens when you lose that time with those you love? That money that you have in the bank will not bring that time back... nor the ones you love that you may have lost.

Also, I was chosen to chaperone some kids to camp at the end of the month at the place where I volunteer. I am pretty excited. A peaceful day at a huge lake.. and well.. like I said in the other thread.. we shall see how I feel after hanging with a bus load of juiced up kids excited to hit camp.

As Michael Buble says.. it is a new dawn, it is a new day, it is a new life .... and I am feeling good.

Things I'm obsessed with lately:

* Horticulture - I've always had a "black thumb" when it comes to plants and now I understand why after reading lots of books on plants lately. Plants are living beings and require care and balance. Imagine that.

* Archiving and organizing all of my old photos.

* Keeping in better touch with people I love.

* Getting ready for a little girl time in a couple of weeks.

* Documentaries about people living in super remote cabins in Alaska for years at a time.

Default an extra thought (for free)

Up until this year, I've kept my list of regrets to a bare minimum and just this past week, after I got an email notice instructing me that my first payment due on all my college loans (for both bachelor and masters degrees) for the mere price of: $1,700.00/month.

I bought into the idea, over ten years ago, that earning an education would help me transcend my life of poverty. If anything, even if I WAS lucky enough to find a job or career earning at least $5K a month, I'd still be poor, after paying a monthly loan payment - with only enough left over for bare, basic living expenses.

Lesson Numero Uno 1 & my only Regret of the Century (so far)
(a lesson I won't forget, ever - literally).

Lesson Numero Uno 1 & my only Regret of the Century (so far)
(a lesson I won't forget, ever - literally).

When I was getting my Bachelor's degree, it was still possible to get one without loans. Now for poor, working class and middle class, it is highly unlikely.

Private loans, Government loans with interest rates that are not fixed. The interest rate will go up before you finish your education and it is time to pay. Back in the day, some future doctors and lawyers would file bankruptcy in order to get out of paying back the loans. Then the U.S House and Senate passed legislation forbidding bankruptcy against school loans. ( I wish I had the stats for the doctors and lawyers who filed for bankruptcy. I doubt they were first generation college graduates and from a background of poverty.)

When will enough be enough? Many are trying to get an education, secure housing, healthcare and a living wage from their employer. The rich get richer and the poor keep getting deeper in debt or without essentials.

I do not hold the "rich" entirely responsible for the state of affairs in the USA and frankly globally. I do however know, they control much of the power and resources. I know we all have responsibility for our life choices. I also know some are born with better choices without having to earn it.

Good luck to you Katzchen. You are a strong, intelligent woman that can and will prevail. (Even if it is in your legacy and not the present.)
