POD: Day 364 | 8.14.12

Putting another year of life under my belt is a good feeling, as is being able to appreciate quiet moments  with beautiful light.

POD: Day 328 | 7.9.12

With a couple of days off and home only 90 minutes away, I traveled back to relax. Murray, my 5-year-old puggle is always willing to rest by my side and, of course, be a model. When I am not home, the photos of my dogs are amusing and comforting. I like how the folds around Murray's neck looks like he is wearing an over-sized fur stole, and how he is looking over his shoulder as if to say "Oh, are you still there?" when he is always acutely aware of my exact location when I am home. After a long or difficult day I like to spend time with my dogs because they don't ask questions, they are not demanding, they are just there and I can reflect in peace. Even though they are not physically with me, after a long or difficult day I like to spend time with them by looking at photos of them, and reflect in peace.

POD: Day 124

My mom arrived safely back in North Carolina late Thursday night. She had been in Mexico since December 1st to be with family because her father, my grandfather, Isaias Rodriguez, passed away. She talked for a long time and caught me up on the lives of aunts, uncles and cousins I didn't realize I had. While I sat and listened, I realized that I missed her a lot. It's good to have her home.
