This day – today

A beloved companion

“Nothing stays the same.”

Words spoken to me by my friend, Barbara Patton.  Profound words that for once in my life – I finally heard.   I’ll bet you’ve ‘heard’ these words before as well.  But, listen again – “nothing stays the same”.  Nothing.  Not relationships, health, money, jobs – not even houses or gardens. 

Trip and I heard yesterday that our beloved Doberman, Windsor, may only have months to live.  Shocked, I thought my heart would burst into tears.  We have not faced this sort of sadness before and frankly I have no words of advice or comfort coming to me.  Nothing I say or think is bringing me any relief.

“Nothing stays the same”

Today, I will enjoy my relationships, my husband and my ability to get up, stretch and walk.  This daytoday, I’m going to love my beloved companion, Windsor.  You see, I have today and I know that nothing stays the same.  So, before these moments change – let’s don’t miss one minute.
