I am so thankful October is finally here. There is something about this month that I find soothing. Part of it is the weather change, knowing that the scorching summer weather is coming to an end. The evenings are cooler, the mornings crisp. Summer activities, although we don't have many, are finished and things just seem more calm and peaceful. This particular Fall is especially important to me. I feel like I made it through the one-year hurdle of Mom's death, and life is okay. There is something very healing about knowing it's been a year, like I have given myself permission to stop grieving. Or maybe it's just coincidental that the grieving seems to be lessening? I don't know.
On another note, I adopted 7-year-old Seamus, a Standard Poodle, a week ago Monday. I am still not sure if he's a real dog or a decoration, but he is gorgeous. I am hoping that as he settles in he'll get a little more spunk. He is bonding to me and follows me around like a Shadow. He is for sure very calm, mellow and trustworthy with my small dogs and cats, and that was my one single requirement.
