So lately I've been thinking a lot.

I have lots of journals. I wish I could say I've filled one up completely.

Yup. That's right. I have yet to fill one up completely. But that's my goal for life. Fill up one journal (at least) with thoughts of myself. Just me. I'll put quotes that I love, sayings, little thought bubbles, anything that really pops into my mind. I don't think I'll write anything like a diary, because I just get bored with that way too easily.

There's been so much "stuff" going on in my life lately. It's crazy. Nothing of much importance. In fact, if I were to list them out, they wouldn't seem like anything at all.

Somehow, in my head, everything is spinning. Time is going by so fast that I have a hard time keeping up.

There's a lot of good things happening, I must say. I'm living on this earth, right this very moment, and that is something to be happy about.

Life's all about those happy moments, the ones one can look back on and smile. Reminisce in the good times, the happy times, the thrilling times. So make sure you make those moments now, that way you can think about them later. Not the other way around.


Close your eyes.


Breathe in through your nose.
Breathe out through your mouth.

Sigh.

Open them slowly.

It does wonders for the mind.

congratulations, you're alive.

Bubs, being cute as could be, naturally.

a Penny for your thoughts

In loving memory of Penny.

Passed away on November 7th, 2012

Penny was my first rescue pug. I’ve always wanted to adopt a rescue dog, especially a pug.

My mom and I went to a pug social and we weren’t looking to adopt a pug, but when we looked at the pugs who were available to adopt, I couldn’t help but insist to my mom that we come home with one.
After looking around at the different pugs, my mom pointed out Penny. She had this beautiful apricot fawn color coat and was such a lovely pug. She was wagging her tail and butt and whole body trying to meet anybody who would pet her. She seemed like such a happy pug. And so, I wanted to meet her.

Eventually I got to hold her in my arms and I knew I wanted her and nobody else. She was the one I wanted to take home that day.

Pen Pen, as I called her, was one of the sweetest pugs I will ever meet. She got along with Oreo, our other pug, wonderfully. She may have been a bit bossy towards Oreo at times, but we forgave her anyways. She loved to run in the grass with us and she would wag her whole body when she wagged her tail.

Penny’s favorite place to be was in my bed at night. We’d curl up together and it was the best place in the world for me. Falling asleep every night with two warm pug bodies at either of my sides.

6 weeks and 4 days later of amazing time spent together and Penny passed away. It was a very quick death and came so suddenly that I still can’t believe it, she’s actually gone. For her last day, she was breathing very shallow breaths and wasn't as energetic as usual. That night, holding her in my arms, Penny passed away.

Penny now rests peacefully and she will always be remembered for “tap dancing”.

I love you Pen Pen, sleep well.
