There was much anticipation before my birthday last month. I was filled with hopes for celebration, laughter, and thought I might be surrounded by friends and family. I had wished to possibly go on a long road trip examining my childhood haunts and review my past.I hoped to just stop and examine where I have been in my life journey. I wanted to contemplate what I should do with my life.
This didn't happen.
Car problems for family members, money issues, and Veterinary care for our youngest English Bulldog kept me in town. The cars are now fixed, money is still tight, and thank God -(really, Thank You God) our Violet is healthy. I want to wind back the clock to August.I still want to take time for this birthday! This day didn't go the way I rehearsed it in my head.
Perhaps I am to be more open to change this year? Must I learn to "go with the flow" and enjoy what is around me? This is pretty hard for me with my control freak tendencies. When plans change, I should change too, right? That is easier to say than it is to do.
*FYI: Did you know that dogs are pregnant for 63 days? That is 3 trimesters, each being 3 weeks long. In another week or two, we will do an ultrasound. That Veterinary care that was needed on my birthday was for A/I for our girl. Her blood work showed that her most fertile time was my birthday.
I couldn't have imagined spending my birthday in a Dr.'s office with my dogs. I wouldn't have been anywhere else in the world.
