It's time

Hello Group:

I went into a self imposed exile perhaps for a bit more than a year and a lot has happened during this year. My 2 beloved dogs (mother & daughter) died within 3 months apart from each other, the first one to go was the eldest at about 21 years of age and the youngest was almost 14. Both deaths were pretty devastating for me because they were my very first own dogs which I had under my care, they were my girls and I miss them dearly.

I may be moving again, after my divorce I needed sometime to get my life back together and finally now I feel ready to start anew on my own again. I feel excited about the prospect of having my own place again, freedom has a unique flavor to it.

Had a few chances to travel some more and enjoy time with my family which I certainly love to do so. The nephews and nieces are growning up so quickly that is scary at times how fast time goes by, but I love to see them and having them around is the best no matter how old I get.

I may adopt a nephew of mine in the coming years and that is something else because I don't have any children and I disregarded the idea of having a family of my own sometime ago. Life is funny like that sometimes....

Times are quite though right now but I am hopeful that things will turn around, that goes for all us.

I have tried to keep up with most of updates of the galleries that I mostly visit and read most of the blogs that grab my interest. I especially read the blogs of people that lose someone special regardless of whomever it may be because when you loose a family member, a friend, a beloved pet or just someone that has touched our lives in a special way those are the blogs that keep me grounded. By the same token when someone has been stricken with some life threatening disease I feel your pain as well (Angela aka Gold Knight) believe me when I say that I feel your pain cause I do and I wish you all the best. It takes guts to handle most of the things that are thrown your way especially when your mortality is suddenly thrust into reality, that is why I found myself thinking about a few things and decided to bring back my gallery as strange as that may sound. I am not going to get into any details or explanations because there is certainly no need for them but I just wanted to share my thoughts for a change.

I am looking forward to redoing the whole thing all over again.

We will see how long this takes now, well thanks to all that read this and the visitors. I hope that you find something of value in my words and that you keep the faith, peace out.

Jose
