Saucy Dog

The sauce on this hot dog is fantastic. The only way to describe the hot dog is, it’s a saucy dog. I realize that sounds kinda lame, but I don’t know how else to describe it. My girls love hot dogs, and I actually do too. A good hot dog with a perfectly toasted bun. It’s good. I know some of you are cringing, but we really do love them.  And in case you’ve been reading our story…

In case you missed part 1
The story will have to continue next week, and in the meantime I wanted to make sure that I point out that this is by no means a pity party. It totally could have been, but the older I get, the more trials I witness and endure myself, I am completely convinced that there is strength, growth, blessings and even talents that could  come about in no other way. I know that things will not always be easy, and I am completely prepared to endure to the best of my ability and to do so finding the joy, blessings and learning opportunities in everything. I would rather go through a trial and be able to empathize more, and recognize my own blessings than to have an easier life and never truly know the joys, blessings and goodness that life has to offer. I want to be grateful for the things we have, people in our lives, and to love and take care of those around me. There’s always room to be grateful and certainly to give. Even if you have little, there’s a lot of love, service and compassion needed in those around you.
