These days I am up and I am down. I want to go on a hike with my two favorite pals but one is gone.
Stewie and I did take a hike on the trail I broke my wrist on almost a year ago. I felt off balance without Annie leading us up. Even Stewie lacked enthusiasm. We started off gaily but nearing the fork in the trail he looked glum. I brought water and shared my trail bar with him. We continued on for a bit then I felt it was time to turn around.
First of all I was glad to pass the spot where I fell, but I also held my arm has I descended the trail. Stewie looked back at me like he was telling me to hurry up. I thought of Annie who would have swished her golden plume tail had she been with us. She would have been less antsy and more about the moment. Isn't that like a Golden? Live in the moment? It wouldn't be how far we went or how much farther we needed to go. It would be lifting the head and sniffing the air, wagging a tail and smiling her doggy smile. She would be happy to just BE.
Then the stupid email on the Silver Goblets came at me like a pie in the face.
A friend had this on her facebook page and I asked if I could use it....

A long time ago, when I was quite young (in my mid-twenties and terribly sad over my divorce), a good friend (still a good friend) told me to only surround myself with those who loved me, who I felt comfortable with, who helped to make me a better person. I've never forgotten those words.
I do wish you comfort and peace as you walk this sad path of mourning for your dear Annie.
