Today would have been our 20th anniversary.

I can't stop shaking. I noticed also that most people don't like the name of my little dog. (Amigo). I had a dream where I was given a check for 420 dollars, and it was all glittery. Just a few things on my mind. I miss Don so much. Thanks for listening. Hugs, Kim

Hi Kim. I've missed your posts. Welcome back. I'm sorry for your sadness, I know this is tough. Try eating something and see if that helps your shakes. As for the name of your dog, Amigo means friend, and I for one can't think of a better name for a dog. Important thing is, if you like it, and the dog comes when called, then he must like it, and that's all the matters. ~~ Scottie

Thanks for replying Scottie. I shake when something close to my heart happens whether to me or someone else, always have. My adrenaline works quite well! Some times I ramble and it's hard to know where I'm coming from, but I have the very best feeling for everyone here and I have learned so much. My dog definitely comes when I call her and she's a great snuggler! I have been taking baby steps and am almost finished with making the living room just the way I like it, and I got medical ins.! I am sad, and I can't shake it, but I believe the Lord is guiding me in a very gentle way. He knows I have to research everything in order to make choices. lol. Hugs and love to all. Kim

Hey Kim,
You wrote that you shake when something happens close to your heart or someone else. God has given you the gift of compassion which unfortunately not a lot of folks have. This gift is what will get you thru and the ability to help others. Embrace that gift and draw strength from it each day.
I like Amigo for a name it seems to me it's descriptive of what your puppy is and that is your closest friend right now. Let us know how the 420 comes out.
Peace, Tim

I think the dream was about your 20th anniversary - it was a gift "for (4) your 20 (years)" together. Maybe it was a way of reaching out to you for this special day.

I am glad you have Amigo to keep you company on this special day when you and husband can't be physically together. So long as you and Amigo know who you are calling, that's all that matters. Our cat only answers to his nickname, not the name he was originally given. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Sending you BIG HUGs today...

Love and Hugs,
Martha

    Today I feel grateful. Grateful for my dog Blue (Blue Jean Baby Queen, Prettiest girl I've ever seen). Grateful I'm still kickin'. Grateful I'm finally taking responsibility for my health. Grateful I own my home. Grateful for good friends and neighbors who watch over me. Grateful to God for His everlasting love and patience with me. Grateful I survived the 10 years since my wife of 30 years...
