Rasita My Family, My Animals, My Food

Yesterday Raz (the dog) left us. She had a few medical problems with her so we decided it best to say goodbye.

We were lucky enough to have a friend who was able to help us with her, and other friends who helped make the transition smoother.

Today we donated all of her stuff to an animal shelter and thought of it this way – we can feed all of the dogs there for one day; flea, worm, etc 3 dogs for a month; allow one more dog to be taken for a walk, one more dog has a bowl to eat of and they have a few more grooming tools to help make their job easier.

It was the perfect way to say goodbye, an era in our life which has now ended.

On to other stuff, new doors that open.

We have been lucky enough to receive excellent help from a friend and teacher with E7. I can see the horizon instead of mountains. Even if things don’t go as planned, he is still going to help us, so we are going to be moving forward. As well as this, reading eggs has once again offered up free 6 weeks on their online program. It is almost game like but obviously a great teaching tool. We are going to use this as well.

This week has been full of highs and lows, ups and downs, but most of all, new doors, new chapters and new beginnings. It is the new which is the most exciting thing and makes me want to look forward to what the year has yet to bring. There will be struggles, but there will also be successes, which just opens more new doors.

Can we start this year all over, from now?
