Hello world! It's been a long time since I posted, and I feel like I'm repeating myself with every post by saying that. Graduate school life is consuming my very existence, but I will try my best to get back on track with this blog. I created this blog with hopes of finding a safe, pure, beautiful place to open up about my own spirit, my thoughts, and about my silly puppy. 

With saying that, it breaks my heart to say that one of my puppies, my very best friend, passed away on Tuesday. My blog has centered around my newest puppy, Gracie, but I have had another puppy for ten years. He was my best friend, my sweet buddy, and the curliest haired dog I'd ever seen. I picked him out of a litter when I was in the eighth grade, and he has been at my side since then. I never in a million years expected to come home late that night from school to find out that my puppy had died, and not only died, but had been killed by a car driving past my neighborhood. I've shed many tears over his death, and for a moment, I didn't understand why he had to die, especially in such a terrible way. I already miss my puppy terribly. I keep expecting to see his curly head pop out around a corner, or for me to wake up and find him cuddled up against my back. I will always miss him and think of him. I'm grateful that God blessed me with such a wonderful fur baby. I wish God had not taken him away so suddenly, or in such a horrible way, but I know that he's in a better place, running around and playing with all the other puppies that have passed on. 

Now it's just me and Gracie, and I hope that I can be a good mommy for her. I pray that God will help me to fully understand the lesson that came with losing my puppy. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, even the things that are heartbreaking. I feel that I am not at a place to accept that reason yet, but I pray that God will help me to embrace it, learn from it, and cope with the loss of my best friend. 

Today, I don't have a moral lesson to talk about in my post. I'm simply leaving this post with my own dilemma. Perhaps someone out there is facing a similar dilemma, but I assure you, God will answer. As long as you are open to God's voice, He will speak. 

So stay positive my friends! Keep smiling, the world is still moving, and life is still blossoming. Keep on keeping on :)
