OOTD: A Checkered Hound :-)

Hey divas, long time no see, but I’ve definitely missed you all. I apologize for the long absence, but the first quarter of this year was definitely a lot to deal with. The sudden death of a young 24 year old man that I knew since he was in his mother’s tummy was definitely very hard to deal with, especially because he and his siblings and me and mine all grew up together. His family is like family to me as well so when they hurt, my entire family hurts with them. It still doesn’t seem real.

A few weeks after that, my youngest dog Caesar disappeared from my backyard. After weeks of putting up flyers and calling animal shelters, we have come to accept that he is gone. I just hope that he is with a family that will give him the love and attention that he deserves, especially because he has a little ptsd since he was rescued from a puppy mill.

Dealing with those issues definitely had me in a state of depression for a few weeks. It was actually very difficult to get out of it, but I thank God for His grace and my husband. My hubby understood my roller coaster of emotions, but also sat me down and let me know that although I am entitled to feel what I feel, I can’t go on having the world pass me by. After a long talk, I realized that he was right, so I made the conscious decision to start trying a little more everyday to see the positive and with the Lord’s help I am. It doesn’t mean that I don’t feel down sometimes, but I’ve made a decision to not let what I feel sometimes hold me back from the greatness and awesomeness and hope that is in the world.

Now with all of that said, how are you liking the new blog layout? I hope you like it because I actually put it together by myself :-). I get bored at times with certain things so I wanted a total blog revamp. I put a lot into it, so I hope that you enjoy :-). Now on to my ootd…
