Keeping it Real #2 ~ TLC

It's a cozy kind of day,

maybe the blanket of snow outside has something to do with my feeling,

then Chill Radio is playing the familiar,

I'm soaking up these pleasant moments , we're taking 
the mutts for their yearly jab 
in about an hour, speaking of mutts, Dougal has now started shaking and crying at the snow!

My love says I mustn't re-enforce this behavior by closing the curtains and switching the 
radio volume higher!

I say he needs TLC....

I need TLC....

.

Tea lots of cups!   LOL

Back from the vets, my happy mood has evaporated, not because Dougal 

was shaking and shivering every second of the way through a snow storm,

or because of an imminent expensive dog dental appointment, 

but my sensitive heart was floored again, 

a woman with a tiny chihuahua pup and two small children went in before us, 

the mum was distressed sighing all the time she was waiting saying 

" how long are they going to be?",

the little boy said "he's going to die isn't he?",

they came out of the consulting room empty handed. 
The boy said " is he dead?"
all was quiet,

I dare not ask,

.
my love said ~

No need to remind me,

I know life is lost everyday

in scary and tragic circumstances

men die, women die,

children die, babies die,

ruin mingles with miracles,

but this was my experience today,

I felt it deeply!

These are retrospective thoughts
from Wednesday, I don't want to leave

you on a sad note as it is Easter, the time of hope and renewal and today is a beautiful new one, so I'm re-posting my thoughts from last Easter 

My yoga practice usually leaves me a little lighter, 

this week we focused on the 

heart chakra gratitude meditation,

I left my class with a feeling 

of belonging to something greater than self!

Often times when my mind is busy,

 all thoughts running riot,

I can feel overwhelmed, 

I find sitting and focusing 

on the breath soothing and comforting.

Namaste
