I've been absent for a while now, and for that, I apologize. I don't want to give the impression that there was nothing to be grateful for over these past several days. On the contrary, there was so much to be grateful for that I barely had time to slow down.
I have been grateful for:
* starting my new position at the Humane Society. I got to meet all of the dogs and pick a few to be projects (to spend extra time with so that they're well socialized and can find a good home). The dogs instantly found a way into my heart, and I encourage everyone to support their local animal shelters, to consider adopting a shelter pet and to remember that animals need love too. It's one of my favorite experiences, and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity.
* my mother agreeing to walk a 5k Race for the Cure with me on the 16th of this month. My grandmother was a two-time breast cancer survivor, and we lost my great-aunt to the disease. It's killed enough people and halted enough lives. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so there are lots of ways to help. Even make up brands are selling special products with the proceeds going towards research funding. So this 16th, I'll be remembering my family, and walking to find a way to save lives.
*being in Seattle this week. Phil and I celebrated our one year anniversary this past Friday, so I came into town so we could celebrate together. We've had the most amazing time, and every day I'm reminded of reasons why I love him.
* meeting Phil's extended family! We all had dinner together, and I had the best time. His grandpa and I got to spend a lot of time together (He even offered me one of the toys he made!), and I know that I've found an amazing family to join.
* my dear friend, Justin, getting the opportunity of a lifetime. No one could be more deserving, in talent or in heart.
Love to you all.
