Thank goodness for two days off in a row…

This was taken last fall.

     Whether you are a Sat/Sun. or some other combination, it is SO revitalizing to have two days off in a row.  In Many years, this was my first weekend “alone”. Dave went away, and Gerry wasn’t here…so ALONE hit me in the head on Thursday afternoon.  I used to wake up as a teenager and find notes from my parents letting me know if they were at Brimfield or Stormville, collecting,  and I would be left alone with a family dog to care for, and it felt like “alone, alone”!

I loved it….I loved it with Gerry too…but I haven’t had a genuine alone, Alone, in a few years I had to realize this week…I survived….I slept late today, and stayed inside because it’s gotten chilly.

After I divorced there were at least 5/6 years of “on my own”, which I needed Very much.  I enjoyed a lot of it because I had done most everything in my marriage, (like shopping, cooking, banking, paying ills…) so it was almost easier to take care of just me.

The addition of Gerry was my reward!

About danielle

I am a rescue mom and school teacher. Gerry came to me from Texas, after he "failed" as a hunting dog. He had NOT had an easy life. I was three years divorced, and we saved each other. Last week I learned he has osteosarcoma. Our world feels upside down...while everyone else is right side up.

    You always express yourself so beautifully in your posts and with such “profound simplicity”. And there is always a measure of awareness that only Gerry could guide you towards.

    I ALWAYS love Gerry’s photos. These two are so special. The one with Gerry sleeping with his paws so lovingly touching your hand ix absolutely beautiful. Ine of my favorites…..one of my many fzvories.

    Gerry is always by your side…as are we. Never alone. Always together.

    Lots of love
