Welcome my friends. I’m tweaking my weekly journey with my healthier living. It’s a step in the right direction for sure. I hope you come along for the ride. Instead of day-to-day comments, I’m going to post something from my personal journal to share. Hope you enjoy. Remember all of us go down this path and we are all in it together ❤

“Dear Journal – Have you ever had a bump in the road snowball? Things are rolling right along, everything is going fine and then there is a little bump that rolls and rolls and then rolls some more until it finally slaps you hard? Then you are like WTH, where did that come from? It’s hard not to stop the current good trend you are on to confront this challenge. Sometimes you want to ignore it and you try. But then it won’t go away and it constant pursues your mind. Then there are the time you do up and challenge it. Then you wonder why you fought it to begin with and go on. Obstacles are there. I think it’s all about finding a happy medium without beating the hell out of the challenges and obstacles that get you through life.”

“Dear Journal – Time. I’ve talked about it before. We need to breathe and live in the moment. Weight didn’t come on overnight and weight won’t go off overnight. When you can accept that and be happy with you, I think you’ve come a long way. I’m there now. I’m happy. With me today and tomorrow. I work towards a goal but it doesn’t define me. I define me. That’s something we all need to grasp. It’s an amazing place to be. So for today Diary, be in the present!”

Week of 04/15-04/21/2018 – Week 15
“Dear Journal – Sometimes you need to sit, simmer, breathe and just be for a bit. I’ve been trying to go out on the back deck at night right at dusk just to do this. A little meditation all to myself just to be in the moment and let things go. I’ve been stressed lately. I can admit that. Nothing in particular but everything all rolled up into one festering just waiting to explode. Nothing specific you can put your finger on of what is pushing you over the edge. Then something little happens and everything explodes with you ending up crying like a big baby… over what? Who knows? It’s been that way for the past couple of months. But last week something happened. Something positive. And with that positive happening, life settled back down again into the right puzzle pieces and all felt right in the world. What have I been stressed over? Who knows and at this point who cares. Life is good now. Funny how that happens in life, right? So what does this teach us? Live the moment, good and bad, remember to breathe and that this soon will pass ❤
Barks! Greetings my sweet friends. You know I’m getting ready for Halloween here – fun times at the Hotel Thompson. And yes, you get to see my costume before everyone else does. What do you think? I back the boys in blue and stand behind them. Call me Patrol Officer H. Thompson – sounds official huh? I’m thinking of wearing this to mom’s work with her on Halloween. Should be fun. They already call me her office mascot – barks with puppy laughter.
And check it out – I have handcuffs, a baton and a hat. I’m in official attire in my dress blues. Would you want me to frisk and arrest you? I’ve gotta get more training on reading the Miranda rights though. Mom says lots of humans don’t speak anipal. How do they live, right?
So now I leave you with my Jokes with Dad in his last Halloween joke – did you like them and the way he ‘dressed’ for the occasion? We saved the best for last – barks! He’s such a diva!
See my football in this picture? That’s me playing football over the week. Daddy was trying to get my football and play with me. See the look I gave him? Doesn’t he know that this is *my* football? He’s got his own footballs – go chase them, right? Do ya’ll have anything planned this weekend? Mom seems to be nesting a bit. I think she has too much energy built up anticipating her upcoming surgery. The woman is going mad here cleaning. Someone help me… barks with puppy laughter.
This week I leave you with another Jokes with Daddy. He had great fun doing these for Halloween. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend my friends – Barks!
Sometimes a pooch just has to do what a pooch has to do. You know what I mean? Like for instance sometimes at night I’m ready to go to bed before mom/dad. So I grabbed Mr. Donkey and went towards my bedroom… AKA mom/dad’s bedroom. I jumped in the bed with Mr. Donkey, we snuggled in and I went to sleep. This is how mom found me later on in the evening when she couldn’t find me. What? I’m big enough to admit that I like to cuddle when I go to sleep. Mom/dad weren’t there to cuddle so I made do with Mr. Donkey. What’s a pooch to do, right? Yawns… in fact I need to get caught up on some more sleep. So with that in mind, I leave you with Jokes with Daddy. Hope you enjoy it my friends.
Barks! Hello sweet friends. Welcome to another week of Paw Time with Houdini.l Don’t you just dig this picture of me? See that white stuff around my mouth? Nah, I’m not foaming white stuff from Day of the Dead. Barks with puppy laughter. That’s doggie ice cream. Mom was feeding me ice cream before bed. She’s cool like that. And those are my new jammies. She was telling daddy I already had poo on my jammies. Do you see it? HA! I love these jammies. Hope you’ve had a great week. Things are getting back to normal here… whatever normal is. Now I leave you with Jokes with Daddy. Enjoy friends and get some extra cuddles this weekend.
Greetings my sweet friends!! I’m so glad to say that things seem to be getting back to the norm here at the Hotel Thompson. Don’t get me wrong. I love spending time with Nana. However, I was so glad to see mom/dad last weekend – barks with puppy excitement. I thought they ran away from me never to come back again. It was the longest I have ever been away from them. But they came back in such great moods and they left something some thousands of miles in the air above us. What was it? Stress. Mom/dad said they had the best times of their lives. I’m glad. That means I get more sweet moments with them here. And don’t worry. They will be sharing their adventures with you shortly. But for now, I leave you with Jokes with Daddy. Trust me. That man nevers stops!
Hello sweet friends. I’m at Nana’s house still – yay!! I’m having a blast and playing with my toys and Dingo. Of course mom/dad are still living it large having a blast of their own. So I gotta keep this short. So hopefully things will be back to somewhat normal next week. But for now, I leave you with Jokes with Daddy – enjoy sweet friends ❤
Hello sweet friends! Have I told you that I’m going to Nana’s today? I’m having a blast with Nana – me and my Nana and her poochie Dingo. I’m running and playing and eating and sleeping – all without mom/dad. Mom/Dad who is what I asked Nana this morning – barks with puppy laughter. So I gotta keep this short this morning. But don’t worry, I’ll leave you with Jokes with Daddy. Enjoy sweet friends ❤
