So my life is not much different from everyone else's probably...
Every day is a battle! A battle to eat right to keep my weight in check. A battle to keep my head above water financially (especially in September since I don't get paid over summer!). A battle to "do the right thing" which may vary substantially depending on the day. A battle to balance home, work and still have time for myself. A battle to keep up on menial tasks - cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc... A battle to be a good role model for the kids at school. A battle to be a great mom; be there for my girls but also teach them to be responsible for themselves. Isn't everyone a warrior?
Today our dog, Quint, a rescue dog truly had a battle of his own. Since I am now back to work most of the day, he has to be kenneled as we have only had him about a month and are not sure how he would treat the house if left alone. He battled the kennel and won! My husband came home at lunch and walked into a bit of a mess (fortunately not potty related). He had to bend the kennel door back into place and put Quint back in when he left for work. Fast forward to when I got home and was greeted by a black tail wagging behind the couch looking like a shark fin moving in on its prey. He again had "Houdini-ed" his way out of his kennel. How he got through a 3 inch opening without killing or hurting himself is a miracle.
My life is like that - not wanting to be left alone and even worse, not wanting to be isolated and left alone. Aren't we all trying to break out of our kennels?? Aren't we all looking for companionship, comfort and a forever home? Well, here I am... breaking out of my kennel and putting it out there for the world to read. My life may not be perfect, I may not be at the weight I want and I may not be as wealthy as I think I need to be, but my needs are provided for and then some! God has given me so much more than most and keeping that in perspective is my new way of looking out the windows waiting for My Owner to come home :)
