It has been too long since my last post, almost six months ago. Simply put, I haven’t felt inspired to write a blog post in that time, or else too much was going on to focus on what I might want to write here.
Life continues to be very full and at times, painful, stressful, anxiety-inducing, and disheartening. Mixed in between those negatives are small bright spots here and there, such as last weekend when for whatever reason, I felt very motivated to get a lot of things done, and so that’s what I did. Another example of something positive is that I was given the ability to have a B grade for my Fall class (this is part of a second Master’s degree program I’m in) upgraded to an A, and yet another one is that this semester I am successfully managing a very challenging teaching load with taking another class in my program.
Life feels fragile, though.
Perhaps this initial post after such a long interval will help to spur me on to more regular reflection and writing. It is interesting and, sometimes, fun to share short posts on a few social media outlets. But that is not the same thing as a blog post, and I see tremendous value in blogging.
We are a very pet-centric household and each of our dogs and cats presents their own challenges. But the following photographs are shared here to illustrate how they all add to our lives.
