The Healing Power of Kindness

Friday night was an obedience fun match, and Saturday I went to watch the obedience trial. First, my dear friend Diana picked up & dropped me off on Friday - a HUGE out-of-the-way trip for her. Turned around and picked me up again bright and early (8:00 a.m.) on Saturday. She has to be exhausted but I am sooo grateful for her friendship and enabling me to get out and see my dog show pals and work with Blitz.
It is very humbling to have people be so kind and express their healing thoughts, and I was humbled many, many times this weekend. I was moved to tears quite frequently with the sincerety of their good wishes.
The cards and little gifts are STILL coming.
And to top off a perfect weekend, Blitz is still feeling great and gave his all at the fun match. We still have lots of work to do and may not be as ready as I'd like in May but for Blitz and I life is short so we will just go ahead and enter if his health allows it. Just for one day. Saturday I brought Blitz again just to get him reminded of the show environment. He had a blast interacting with puppies and other dogs and people.
So between my ectastically happy Blitz and the many hugs and good thoughts and helping hands, I'm resting comfortably today and grateful to be given this second chance at life.
So, I'll sign off for now with a full heart and feeling like I'm the luckiest person on this Earth.
