Welcome to the magical world of transformation…

This past week I went to visit Pam

so that I could meet her new baby Rothko

and he is adorable!

Then we went out to lunch at Morrocco’s

great food & incredible decor

pretty chairs

plus the coolest lighting in the bathroom!

After lunch we walked through a beautiful church

And on the way back to the car we spotted a tranquil plaza nestled in between the sky rises

with a sparkly fountain

and we simply had to stop and enjoy it.

What a fabulous day with an awesome woman & friend. Thanks Pamela!

Even though I don’t feel like laughing, I remembered that I took this funny photo of Gracie and so I decided to post it for Funny Photo Friday.  In fact, maybe it’s when we don’t feel like laughing is when we need it the most…

{Update: he goes to court today…I’ll keep you posted.}

Gracie just got up from where she was sleeping so that she could curl up against my leg.  I love how consistently affectionate she is towards me.  Every time I walk into the room she runs up to me with such enthusiasm.  She always takes that extra step to be next to me.

It got me thinking.

How intentional are we with the people in our lives?

How consistently affectionate are we towards one another?

How excited do we get when someone we love enters the room?

So, today follow in Gracie’s paw prints and take that extra step to express your love and affection for those that mean most in your life.  And do it without expecting anything in return.  Do it simply to be the kind of person you want to be…

Loving

Kind

Affectionate

This is a photo I took of Gracie climbing up to give me kisses!

“Why did they have to adopt a dog?”

“Wny doesn’t she like me?”

I am on the final coat of paint in my old office and am scheduled to turn the keys in today.  So instead of continuing on with my story From God-hater to God-follower (can you believe I’m on part 7?!) I’m participating in Funny Photo Friday:

“Crazy Doggie!”

Laughter and fun truly are vital in living a healthy, balanced and joyful life.  So lighten up, flex those facial muscles, and be the fun everyone needs this Funny Photo Friday!

I’d like to introduce you to Gracie the Chihuahua:

I just love her so much!

I never knew it was possible to feel like this about an animal.

She’s just so damn cute!

Look at her smile :~)

And she’s so vulnerable and strong

Plus she adores me…the daily doggie facials she gives me prove it!
