Back to Blogging

I haven't posted to this blog since I first moved out here to Arizona. I guess I was so focused on the new job and new beginnings that I just neglected the luxury of blogging. Old relationships, like old habits, die hard. But die sometimes they must. If I would only pay attention to the things I knew all along, I may have avoided years of frustration and heartache. But that's life...sometimes we learn from other's mistakes and other times we must make mistakes ourselves. So after four months, seasons have changed and it's time to move forward. Time to get back to the therapy of blogging.

Yesterday I took one of those real age tests and based on my input it seems I'm older than my years. One of the strikes against me was the fact that I don't have any pets. Seems pets relieve stress, give you unconditional love and loyalty, not to mention the snuggle factor. Experts say that could add 4 to 10 years to your life! I have had pets at many stages of my life but not currently. I can't have a pet where I live right now. But when I move closer to Tucson this fall, I'm gonna get a dog...a big one to wrestle with, walk with, talk with, to give me undying loyalty and unconditional love. Because that's the only way I'm gonna receive it. Maybe I'll get a cat too! Yeah and some fish, lots of fish and maybe even some birds...a veritable managerie. They'll either drive me insane or take so many years off my life I'll be an adolescent again. Now that's the ticket!
