2015 – A New Year and a Fresh Start

January 2015 is a new start for me.  My personal life has been very stressful for the last couple of years and it finally feels like I’ve gotten a handle on all of that.  This blog is also getting a fresh start.  You will see more posts from me as well as some aesthetic changes to the blog itself.  It has been a long time coming and the New Year is as good a time as any to implement some changes!

My blog is called, “A Whimsical Life” but for the last couple of years my life has felt a lot less than whimsical.  Instead of focusing on “woe is me” type feelings, I’m going to concentrate more on what makes me happy, what brings me joy, what makes me laugh, and by sharing those things with you maybe it will bring you happiness, joy, and laughter as well.  There are so many things I enjoy doing: sewing, knitting, reading, cooking, photography, decorating my home.  It will be fun to share all these things with you!  Especially because I’m not an expert at most of those which results in a lot of hilarious mistakes which I’m sure more than a few of you can relate to.

I invite you to come along and share this journey with me.  I promise we’ll have fun along the way!!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
