In 2 days we will say goodbye to the little boy that Christian is and in a couple months we will get back not only a man but a U.S. Marine. I could not be more proud of him. Life is pretty splendid right now and I am so grateful to have it that way. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Enjoy it while you can, summer is almost over!

Our
Heart
Our
heart,
Such
a fickle thing,
It
confuses our mind
And
makes life difficult.
Our
heart say things
That
our brain can't process.
We
think rationally
But
feel irrationally.
Our
brain tells us,
“It
will all be okay,”
Our
heart,
The
red jail cell of love,
Tells
us horrible things,
“It
is not okay,”
“It
will never be okay,”
“Life
is too scary,”
“I
cannot let go.”
The
signals get mixed,
Fear
and anger come out,
Our
heart tells us
To
hold on tight
And
never let go!
But
we must move forward,
Forge
new grounds
For
our fickle heart to go
And
trust that
Even
if our brain and heart
Can't
get along
It
is our gut where it all
Comes
together as one.

Diaries: I Can't Deal With The Weather
My
people insists on leaving me outside, do they not understand how
undignified that is? I lay on the hot porch hoping if I pant enough
they will let me in my alas my lady person has figured me out. She
sprays down the patio constantly and gives us a large pool to drink
from. On occasion she makes us get in the pool and she puts her feet
in it. I do not understand this behavior. You drink water and yet
they like to be in it. They bath in it daily and put their feet in
it. Is this world so harsh that we must bath often? I do not think
so! I hate water. Jack will get in it if our lady person does but
even he is not quite a fan of the wetness. The summer is unbearable.
We get no reprieve from the sweltering heat of the garish sun. All
day long it beats down on us like it is attempting to fry our
insides. Today is just as bad in a different way. It is freezing and
raining. I t is as if the world cannot figure out how to be. Please
world! Just give me my bed, an excessive amount of treats and
moderate weather. For now I will sit here as my lady human looks at
me. I will keep my back to her and sit sadly in the cold wet grass
and make her feel bad for me. At least it is not raining any longer
but thanks to that I am outside. She keeps threatening me with a bath
because I “stink”. Lady person, I smell like the musty dog smell
that is proper! Tonight I think I will sleep at their feet and steal
all the covers. That will teach them!
