Another chance at life.

As I sit and write today, Lily is right by my side,  where she spends most of her day, as close to me as possible. She is a happy contented 💕 little soul. She means the world to me.  The decision I made to get another dog, was the best decision I ever made in my life. I decided to get Lily as a puppy right when my divorce proceedings were being finalised. It was about 2 or 3 years previously to that that Chloe my first little dog passed away. In getting Lily I knew I was no longer painfully mourning Chloe and it was putting a full stop on my life as an estranged wife and making a very clear statement that I was ready to move on, and give love to and be responsible for the care of something new in my life.

Lily is definitely the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time. She has a strong caring personality and is protective of me, even though she may be nervous or anxious her protective desire is greater than her fear of things,  so she will stand up and stand her ground when she feels that she needs to protect me from something,  normally this happens if a strange male comes too close to me.  Lily will bark and snap as a warning, even though that bark maybe twinged with a little anxiety.   I love her to bits and really feel that God brought Lily into my life, to show I was being given a second chance at life after a horrible divorce. I rarely now think of my marriage,  it is something that is well and truly in the past,  and my life these days is so different to when I was married. My ex husband didn’t approve of my writing,  so I feel blessed now that I can focus on the things I love, and can spend time writing this blog and other forms of writing all whilst Lily lays by my side happy that I don’t leave her for hours on end, anymore, whilst I went out  to work in my mental health career.   To say that Lily thrives now is an understatement.   We both are happy and content and enjoy our quiet life of creativity and contentment.   Having my creative juices flowing and having a peaceful place to write with Lily by my side is my favourite way to live now, and I appreciate the circumstances that have led me to live my life the way I choose to.

Thank you God, you have blessed me with a peaceful loving life.
