Each Day Counts

Just more words...

It is 11:41 here on a bright California day and I just crawled out of bed not too long ago.  I am so sore!  I slept way too long!  But, I feel ok today although I can still feel the throbbing in my side.  Life is good though.  I have been writing more and more lately and that feels great.  I am also going to featured in a newspaper article so that is cool too. 

I don't look at the article as a way to get more people to know about me.  I look as it as a way to get people to read about me and maybe take something positive away from this site.  I really have been focused lately on helping people and I love doing that!

So today Meg is off school so I will will take Tink for a walk and clean up our funny little house a bit and then tonight we will drive to have dinner with our good friends, Katie and Clark.  Time with friends is very, very valuable to me.  They inspire me and offer me hope and that means alot to me.

Enjoy the weekend folks!  I will be here and I will be just fine.  Maybe I'll check in here if I get bored.  If you just want to say hello you can leave a comment, send me an email at ruben@eachdaycounts.com or you can even call me.  My cell number is 209-204-1411.  I get a call from a reader every once in a while and I love that!

Smile this weekend!  Laugh with your children, run, play and have hope if things get dark.  Lately, the curtains have wanted to shut around here and darken my life but I won't let them.  I am happy and alive today and I can't ask for anything more than that.  None of us could hope for more than that.

The New Baby!

If you have read this blog for a while you know that our baby Hector escaped his sitter a while back and we never saw him again.  That event was very hard for us to deal with and it still hurts.  We loved him very, very much.

A few days ago, I was called and given the opportunity to rescue this little girl.  She only weighs three pounds and is eight months old.  She is a pure bred Tea Cup Chihuahua.  She lived in a cage for six months of her life and now she has sort of taken over our home.

The best thing about her is that she has helped to fill a whole in our hearts that we really needed to be filled.  So we are back to playing, buying dog food, taking walks and buying treats and toys again and we are very happy about that!  I even bought her the cutest darn pink sweater with feather collar that you have ever seen!

It is funny how something so small and fragile can make life seem so much more full and meaningful.  You will read much more about her soon and you will see many, many pics.

Take care this week.  Have some fun!
