Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude
is going to determine how you live your life...
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: to rise above the
little things. I posted some of this blog January 1st 2015. At that time we had
no indication that our Brutus would not see another New Year with us.

2014 was be a year to remember for us. Like everything the year had it's up and
downs. It was in 2014 I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer, but now that I
look back I realize how lucky I have been compared to so many others.
My cancer was treatable and even though I am on medication for life, have gained
weight, an sometimes irritable and a few other things, many have not been
so lucky. I at least wake up every morning and can enjoy the new day.
2014 our Brutus was alive and even though both Arvid and I had a few
medical issues to deal with we had our Brutus. That made it all good. I never,
ever for the life of me thought that he was going to die in less than a year.
2015 was supposed to be a good year for us, but Brutus took a turn for the worse
and we had finally agreed to do the amputation of his leg. I look back now and I can't
help but second guess myself. I will always wonder if that was the reason he died.
Maybe his body was not able to handle the stress it underwent. My heart
will never be at peace because I will never know what went wrong.

Brutus was my baby and even though Shadow came into our lives and then Sniff,
I only have one baby and that's my Brutus. I love Sniff and I loved Shadow, but my Brutus
took my heart with him. 2017 is here already and I know it will be better. It has to.
Like I have said before, today is the first blank page of a 365 page book.
Write a good one and may 2017 be a year to remember. For last year's words belong
to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right...
