Uplifting

Body: 

I didn't know where to post this really, but we are a more than just our symptoms and battles. This is a post where I would like to hear from people on things uplifting in thier lives. What brings you joy? Or what is your favorite hobby? Have pets?, share about them! What is your favorite season of the year? Kids/ grand kids do something you wanna brag about? You get the picture.... I will start. I picked my name because I have a love for canines of all kinds, and I spent the better part of 20 years studying them in depth, but I'm not a biologist, it's for passion, and I even got some hands on with wildlife working at a wildlife rehabilitation center and refuge. I have four dogs. My husband is very understanding in my new challenges but he always is supportive in my life. My daughter is in high honors at tech school and though she is in computer science now she wishes to change to pre engineering. I love to read and I can endlessly research anything I put my heart to. Not only doi love canines I love all animals and have more factoids about them than I know what to do with, mostly the canines though. I like to be a good listener for people who need to vent and my favorite seasons are spring and fall, they just make me feel the most energetic. Now it's your turn :)

Pack Momma, I too love the spring and fall! To watch the earth prepare for sleep and then wake up again strikes awe in me every time. I too have a passion for animals and have rescued everything from dogs to reptiles! My dream is to have a large property where I can care for animals and people who are in need of love. And there on my animal and people farm my daughter will grow up and grow in strength and courage and caring. Together we will be custodians of the earth! In our little world, all the needs of the living will be lovingly met. And when she is ready, I will release my little girl into the big world and she will be a light unto it. That is my dream!

I have a dream I will not be allergic to horses! I love them, find them beautiful and fascinating, but if one touches me I break out in welts. My daughter had riding lessons and I had to wait in the car. A friend from a long time ago had horses and I would interact with them, but each time I touched one the welts got worse, so sadly I had to stop. I love farms! I would have chickens but we are zoned residential, so that's not happening. Someday me and my hubby may just buy that house up in the mountains and live the dream!

Oh yes! And I love the smell of the wet earth after a good rain, the smell of flowers wafting through the air, I live to take my nose up to a growing tomato plant and sniff it. Seeing the butterflies come out and hearing the birds in the air. The kids out on bikes and laughter from the games they play, the bunnies having thier babies in our yard, opening the windows and letting out the stale winter air, oh I just love it! Fall brings to mind of beautiful color changes in the leaves, gathering back to school needs, getting ready for the holidays, preparing ahead for Christmas shopping, pulling out those jackets and jeans, and I love the smell of leaves in the air. The fall leaves have a smell to it's own. Watching the geese fly south and the squirrels making thier nests thicker and bulkier, fall has a feeling of anticipation, while spring has a feeling of liberation. Summer is nice and so is winter, but they are not seasons I look forward to, in the way as the other two.
