Dear God,

Thank You is not enough so I am going to show you in actions.

I trust and believe in You as You have believed in me.

Yours truly-

Oso Almost Got Arrested

Our family dog Oso roams the streets of my parent's neighborhood. He goes into other people's backyards and looks for tennis balls, pees on everyone's trees, that sort of thing. A lot of people know him so they just let him be. Occasionally a kid will be a good samaritan and ring the doorbell with him at there side. Just the other day the doorbell rang with him at someone's side only this time it was animal control!!!! Oso was ticketed on the spot. The lady was really nice but had to ticket him for roaming around without a license! Oso is now in "the system" and could have been taken to dog pokey had he not had his identification.
Aside from my Dad who had to pay around three hundred dollars to get it all straightened out, we all find this hilarious. Oso finally got caught.

2011...Where Do I Begin??

The last time I posted an entry was February 26, 2009. About four and a half months later,June 6th to be exact, my oldest brother, one of my best friends since the beginning of my life, went on to the spiritual world. I don't remember most of what I was feeling before then. I'm not even curious to read the previous posts. In fact, I know I will be embarrassed to read the of lightness of my life then, to hear my tone before the biggest shock of my life. And even having said that- I still find my life very beautiful and full of light-only another kind. I think about Isaac everyday- I laugh and mostly I cry really hard over him. This whole experience-which will be lifelong-the loss of my brother and yet again not,is something so deep, I won't even offend it by trying to describe it.
So here's to keep keep keepin' on. If for no one else but myself.
I love you Isaac. Most of all, here's to you.
