What a Year 2010 Has Been
What a year 2010 has been. I have been so busy doing things to blog about, that I haven't had time to write a word. I started a job in April. Worked until September, then started remodeling my living room. In the middle of all that time was camping trips, reunions, sickness, and much more that I hope to remember as I begin to share my year with you.
I'll start with my Job. I went to work for the Census. Worked as a clerk in the office. I wanted to earn enough money to buy new living room furniture. I succeeded!!! But I also made many new friends and loved my job. Being a census job I can't say a lot about what I did due to the privacy laws, but it was very interesting and fun. I worked as an enumerator in the 2000 census. With all that went down out there in the field this year, I'm glad I wasn't out there. The world has most definitely become a more dangerous place. However in the office, it was a much different environment. We worked hard and some very long hours (I worked from midnight to noon for a solid week) some of which nearly killed me. This old lady is not used to that kind of work:)...Had it not been for my co-workers I never would have lasted. It was a joy to go to work each day. All of us still get together each month for a luncheon. We laughed a lot and cried a little but become closer to each other through it all.
I have been a SAHM most of my adult life, so this experience was a blessing. I would love to find another job I could do. My health doesn't allow for standing, lifting, or much stooping (bad back) and a 58 year old female with no job experience and no degree doesn't stand a chance. I may be a computer whiz but no one wants to take my word for that. LOL
So this is a start to my new beginning to the blog world again. I hope to do a better job at posting more often than I did when I started this endeavor. Hope all my followers will return someday and I would welcome any new ones. Bless all who I meet here and My God bring you joy and happiness through the things you enjoy the most.

"Waiting At The Rainbow Bridge"
My Post today is for my Dear Friend Justine. First I want to Post the Poem "Rainbow Bridge" for anyone that may not have ever read it. My first time was when I had to have one of my Dear Furbabies put to sleep many years ago. My vet sent me a sympathy card with this poem inside.
By the time I got better Pizzy was old and sick. Now it was my turn to stay with him. I should have let him go before I did, but I couldn't. He was so much a part of me, that having him put to sleep was almost like committing suicide. BUT I DID IT!!! It was horrible. I can't even think about it. Pizzy was gone and I never had my heart hurt so bad. I didn't know where to go or what to do. Everything reminded me of him. For 2 days my husband and I sat in shopping centers and in the car in shopping center parking lots and cried and cried and cried. All I could think of is where do dogs go? Is there a place for animals or is my Pizzy in that cold ground in our yard? Whose taking care of him? Where is he? Where's my Pizzy?
On Nov. 8, two days after he had died, my husband and I were sitting in the car in the Hill's Shopping Center parking lot. It was four o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was bright blue without a cloud anywhere. It had not rained all day and again there was not even a cloud in the sky. We were facing west , looking toward the setting sun. I was sobbing and sobbing and screaming, "Please, God, please. Tell me where Pizzy is. Please, God, tell me! Where is my Pizzy! Where is he!!! All of a sudden my husband said, "Look Sharry, Look!!!! He was pointing to the sky and when I looked up I saw a perfect RAINBOW in that cloudless blue sky right next to the setting sun. At the time I didn't know about the rainbow bridge, but at that moment I did know that God in His kindness was telling me that my Pizzy was somewhere over the rainbow and that he was okay.
About 5 months later my friend called me. She was all excited and told me to read the article in Dear Abby. I read it and just couldn't believe it. I read about the meadow and the RAINBOW and my sick dog wasn't sick anymore and he had water and food and he was playing and best of all I WOULD SEE HIM AGAIN. I am a skeptic and if I had just seen the article, I would have had doubts, but I SAW THE RAINBOW BRIDGE. I know it's real.
Up until last week I thought my husband and I were the only ones who believed the meadow and the bridge really exist and take comfort in its existence. Then I accidentally stumbled onto this bulletin board. I was and am still amazed, but so grateful that we share this hope with so many others. I never write on BB, and I wasn't going to this time either, because it's so hard for me to put my feelings into words. But I really feel that God would want me to share this with you guys in case there's someone out there who is a skeptic and needs a little extra bit of proof that God does have a special place for your pet to be cared for until you go to pick him up and cross the bridge together, never again to be separated.
As I leave you with your tears, I close, tearfully myself, as I say quietly, Until I see you again My Beloveds Noisy, Spud, Toesy, Goofy, Daisy Mae, and Max, God promises you'll be there waiting for me someday to Cross The Bridge Together.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Tonight I ran across a post a Lady put on a site I was looking through. I hope this Lovely Woman does not mind if I share this with all of you. I hope it is as comforting to all of you whom has ever lost a dearly loved Pet as it has been for me.
I saw the Bridge
A true experience as posted by Sharry Daniels
We had to have Pismo put to sleep on Nov. 6, 1993. He was an 18 year old, 6 pound yorkie. Most of Pizzy's life I was sick and confined to the house. He stayed with me every min. of every day. On days when life didn't seem worth living his unconditional love for me kept me alive. I know he was a gift from God. Without that funny little mutt I wouldn't be here today.By the time I got better Pizzy was old and sick. Now it was my turn to stay with him. I should have let him go before I did, but I couldn't. He was so much a part of me, that having him put to sleep was almost like committing suicide. BUT I DID IT!!! It was horrible. I can't even think about it.
