I was lucky enough to get to spend time with each of these wonderful cats and dogs this past month. Some have found their new homes. Some are still waiting.

My Definition of a Great Day!
I just started volunteering at a local rescue shelter. Oh my goodness. I think I’m in heaven. Check out my new friends.
#ThrowbackThursday Photo #TBT
Me and my grandma. I can’t believe I made her get down on the floor to play with me. She was so sweet. Wish she was still here.
I look quite irritated that my mom made us stop playing for a picture, but I’m so grateful to have this photo now.
Quote I Love: Acceptance
“My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.” ― Michael J. Fox
This is such an important statement but also so very hard to achieve. It’s one of the things I’m striving for in my own life, but it is a daily struggle. From little innocuous things that pop up during the day to the bigger events and relationships that impact nearly my entire life, I’m trying to learn to accept the things I cannot change and focus on loving my life, my mind, my body, my passions, and most importantly, the people who surround me.
Thank you to all my readers for giving me the opportunity to continue sharing one of my passions. It means the world to me.
Some of My Favorite Childhood Books
Over the last year or so, my hon and I have been doing a lot of downsizing, getting rid of maybe 50% of our stuff. Which means I’ve been sorting through everything and taking a lot of trips down memory lane. I found this gem the other day. Based on my favorite miniseries when I was a kid. And apparently one of my favorite books. By the look of it, I may have read this book a few times during my youth. Check out the fine duct tape work on the spine.
I also found these. Such an odd collection.
What books do you still have from your childhood?
