Funny how one can be fretting and stewing over stuff (in my case Jeri's health problems), and then out of nowhere life throws you a curve ball and suddenly you have new issues to deal with and forget about the others temporarily. God must have it planned that way because sometimes it's a stress reliever, if you know what I mean! Case in point:
Yesterday I had let the girls out to do their business, and was just getting started on my housework. I stopped at the washer to add some water softner and glanced out my backdoor window. You wouldn't have believed the sight that I saw. I can't even describe it well enough for you to really get the picture, but here goes.
There is Katie Rose, my darling WHITE terrier covered from head to foot in black mud. She was covered so well that she looked like a black scottie dog with a few wisps of gray hair! I kid you not!
I didn't have to say anything because she knew by the look on my face that she was in trouble.......big trouble!
Long story short, I had to stop everything I was doing and put her in the bathtub and rinse the dirt off before I could even run water for her bath. When I was through with her, I went ahead and bathed Sophie Jo too.
When I was through bathing and blow drying those two I had to clean the tub and shower and do another load of laundry (their towels) and what I was wearing. With all the rinsing and bathing going on, I'd drained my hot water tank so my shower had to wait. Not a big deal because I still had housework to finish!
What a morning! But I'm thankful that it happened because it jolted me out of my worrying about the future and the unknown, and back into the here and now.
Everthing happens for a reason!

I agree. It's true when we can't handle a big problem, sometimes the little ones get us through. Great entry.
You are 100% correct. I truly believe that things do happen for a reason. Hopefully your time spent in the hear and now was mentally healthy for you.
Am I bad for laughing at the situation with your dog? I could visualize her expression, knowing she was in trouble! My dad had a white terrior and he was such a character. I'd LOVE to adopt one someday.
Yes, things do happen for a reason! We can too caught up in problems to forget to live in the moment. Hope things improve for you SOON.
