| Happy Birthday Finn and Polly! |
For the next 50 days I will share with you some Simple
Treasures in my life. This is appreciating the simple things in life, those
treasures that are all around us, but may seem so small to our busy minds that
they go unnoticed until we slow down to truly feel the weight of their value on
our hearts.

My first Simple Treasures are my puppies. It’s appropriate
that I start this list on Finn and Polly’s fifth birthday since they have given
me the most pleasure out of anything or anyone (except Paul I suppose J). Polly and her
brother Finn were born Dec 10, 2008 and changed my world from that day forward.
They taught me how to love unconditionally, to give everything I had away for
the greater good, to be vulnerable so I could love more deeply, and to open my
eyes and heart to see the world in a whole new way. Their presence in my life
enabled me to fall in love with Paul and Millie to start a whole new life.

Though I had kitties before, these puppies really needed me
and wanted to need me greeting me at the door when I came home from work (they
even acted excited when I only went to get the mail), sitting on my lap and
giving me kisses just because, teaching me conquer my fears and helping me get
over my sadness when I thought I would never be happy again.

It’s the tilt of the head, the snore in the night, the warm
breath on my ear and the furry grin each day that are the simple treasures I
cherish above all others.
