I needed a breath of fresh air, quite literally. Maybe a little outside time to think about what I want out of my days is what I'm thirsting for. Lily always helps me be simply happy, watching her explore and try new things. This morning we got up and she was laying on the couch and I decided to look for somewhere to take her to explore. I found this website and decided to venture to the metroparks in Rocky River and climb the 137 steps of the top of the Foot Hill Trail. Lily was in heaven as she sniffed and ran and made friends with other dogs. It completely took me away from my daily worries and out of my head into the world around me. The little day retreat I needed :)
Life is full of crazy moments, ups and downs and mixed up plans. My life changed in September 2008 when my fiancé was killed in Iraq. Nothing like what I planned, I continued forward. Support from friends and family, as well as my inner strength kept me moving. Now married and raising a pup, I am taking life one moment at a time, living in the present, and working to be happier every day.

Isn't it awesome how dogs can do so little, but they cheer you up instantly! I don't know what I would do without my pups.
Haha puppies are the best. After I lost Dan, the only reason I functioned sometimes was to take care of my little man!! Always get a good laugh or smile b/c of the silly things he does.
Stacey. Know that you are beautiful. In more ways than can ever be imagined. Let Lily lead you more.
