Sweet Jake

I had decided some time ago not to post hundreds of photos of Jake on my Blog nor to make him the number one subject of it. He means the world to ME, but I realize that a photo now and then is enough for you, my friends. Of course, when he utters his first words, I will be sure to post about it pronto!! (:

Recently, several of you have asked me to post some recent photos of him. Happily, I am doing just that. These were all taken in the last week or two. Jake now weighs a whopping 6.2 pounds ~ the perfect size to hold close to my heart. He brings me so much joy every single day ~ I love him dearly!!!!!

Jan said...: Jake is so dang adorable! How can you not just take pictures of him the live long day? When you aren't cuddling or playing with him, that is. I look forward to getting another dog some day too, but not ready yet. I love seeing Jake! Have someone take a picture of you and him together, you will be glad to have it.; June 28, 2012 at 12:00 PM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
