dogs

mary and i have been looking at dog breeds online. don't let your dog get small dog complex most posts say. that scares me. who would i have to be to haave a dog? i'll just leave the idea to germinate. and see. a good holiday mood pervades the days. my first christmas without family. mom is in her assisted living in spokane. at first i felt blue but it all shifted. there is a curiosity to see how i can match the mood of generosity i feel all around and in the air. today there is a warm balmy feel outside. snow still on teh ground but melting. breezy which is unusual. as if something were about to arrive. a storm. or a warmer front.
