My house still has a hole in the dining room ceiling, the upstairs bathroom has no walls, puppy only mostly uses his potty pads, cats are freaked by puppy and WILL PEE on his leash if it’s left lying around, teen has a 1st girlfriend, I luff her, but teen is agitated if I interrupt his texting with/1st gf with a summons for family dinner (why can’t I just eat in my room, Mom, I’m texting with my GIRLFRIEND), I’m experiencing a hump mid-new-novel and it’s REALLY bugging me–but when I’m galumphing around the soccer field with Bear I am thrilled to be outdoors with a new little life and pretty sure I’m living as mindfully as I can–despite or because of holes in the house, precious moody teen, fresh crowsfeet, not-very-potty-trained-puppy, annoyed cats and writing challenges.

You, too?

Yours in purchasing high-value puppy treats,
