Today I woke up and was filled with energy, which to be
honest has been lacking for the last week. I am finding that taking this
opportunity to practice thankfulness is helping me to focus on the right things
and not to waste energy in the wrong areas.
The lighter my heart, the happier I feel, and the more I can focus. Well with that insightful wisdom, shall we move
on to day 3?
For day three I wanted to write about a group of people who
have become near and dear to me over the last two years. In January of 2018, I was feeling a bit
lost. I had lost my dad about six months
prior and I had lost my sweet MadZ pup two months to the day after my Dad passed.
My heart was broken, and Andy sent me a text with a link to a twitter account
called, @dog_feelings. I still remember
the tweet, “my ear. is inside out. and the human. is not home to fix it. i have
put the household. on alert level. dark grey.” I read this and laughed until I cried;
I created an account that day, just to follow the posts.
From this account, I found @notquiteold Theo-sophy from
their comments, which lead me to becoming a “Twitter Lawyer” for @Oppopotamus
Opie, and the list just kept on growing from there. So many wonderful people that allowed me to “adopt”
their dogs through Twitter. There were
no politics, there were no hate speeches, just pure love of animals and it
healed my heart. These friends, these
animals, filled me with the love that I needed to bring Linus into my life, whom
I will be thankful for in another blog.
Through miles and across oceans, in all parts of the world,
I have made friendship that I hold close to my heart. For this, I am thankful for a silly phone app
called Twitter. But, most importantly, I am thankful for all the friendships
that I have been able to make. If I
listed you all here, I would not have enough room for listing the donations for
today, so I will leave it to say that if you see this post, if you read this
post, you are dear to me and I am thankful for you!
To show my appreciation and
thankfulness for what I have today, I have made a $20.00 donation to each of
the following charities:
- Speranza Animal Rescue (www.speranzarescue.org )
- Rusty’s Angels Sanctuary (www.rustysangelssanctuary.org )
- Pug Hollow Sanctuary (www.pughollowsanctuary.org )
- ARVO (www.akrvo.org )
