Bonjour, sunshine! I knew better. All my fault. The guy warned me. I squeezed it out for the whole week, what was a couple more days? Answer: The difference between having a car in my driveway or not. Not. But still. The completely dead unjumpable battery couldnt squash the triathlon high or gloom the glory of Annas wedding. Im just happy that it decided to quit after it got me to the club on time. As I told one of the many curious golfers stumbling back to their cars throughout the two hours I was hanging out with mine...calling, waiting, jumping, twiddling my thumbs...worse things could have happened. Short of death, aint that the real truth? No matter what youre going through theres something worse even though at the time its hard to be convinced that life doesnt suck at that moment. So thats that + I hope to be reunited with my car tomorrow. Before I move into today, I have to tell you a bit about the wedding. It was lovely on every level. The people beautiful, friendly, warm. The bride + groom, so in love + shining, even though right before the vow exchange the groom fainted. I texted Joe: Me: Groom down! Joe: He should stay there! Me: WTF?! You could have it worse! Joe: Yes, dear. Me: Quit making light of this. Not funny. Joe: Honey bunny boo! Me: ❤️ you too. Call you when Im on my way home. We were asked to write down tips for a happy ever after life together. My card read Patience, forgiveness, space to grow as individuals + as a couple. I forgot to add Laugh a lot + call him out on his crap. Now thats funny. The decorations were awesome. Lots of Annas beloved beach touches. I mustve taken a hundred photos. Of course. Some are sprinkled in between the beach pics today. Now moving into today... It poured early this morn. I wasnt sure Id be beaching it but as is usually the case, the weather clears long enough for some pics + a message. Quite a sky show out there. Big-time contrasts of dark + light but I wasnt getting anything beyond beauty in the differences. It was what was on the shore that captivated me. The big dogs. Lots of them with a couple of small ones that served as contrasts to show you just how big those big ones were. BIG! More like big babies. Sweet. Having a ball, retrieving a stick from the sea. Carefree. Chasing each other, playing with their human pals. I heard one wasnt too nice to little dogs, anothers owner may not have as much control over her huge dog as she thinks she does + yet another had that killer look in his eyes but it turned out to be more of his own shyness than anything else. Theres always one. But all had tails wagging, tongues hanging, leaving happy prints on the sand (along with other things that their responsible handlers bagged). So. Much. Fun. Forget the rockstar with glitter gear. Im coming back as a dog in my next life. After inhaling the pups playful spirit, I started to pay more attention to the sky show. I noticed animals in the clouds + one spectacular image of the Virgin Mary. No, Im not transferring her image to a grilled cheese sandwich + putting it on eBay. Im sharing it with you in its natural form for free to do with as you please. If you do toast it, please post it. Back to animals. You dont need me to tell you how special they are. Theyre messengers as well as companions. An excellent source for what certain animals symbolize can be found here: spiritanimal.info/ Ill have to look up toads + spiders. There was a toad in the road on my way to the beach + a huge spider lounging in his web affixed to a plant that caught my eye on the way back. Beach book-ended by non-human creatures emphasized todays story. While copying the link I noticed the totem animal quiz + took it. I thought lion or some other strong animal would pop up. Nope. Hummingbird! After reading all about it, hummingbird it is! Whats your totem spirit animal? Ill need the speed of the little bird to fly though todays stuff which is stacked quite high because of yesterdays snafu. Or maybe not. Perhaps the car thing was designed to keep me from doing anything after the wedding, including today. Who knows? Not having a car will keep me focused on what needs to be done here. Theres always a reason for something, including a reminder that sometimes sh*t happens. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing to freak out about. Life through a dogs eyes + heart. Playful, unconditional, tail-wagging joy. An occasional treat + toy toss...life is that simple. Gonna fetch me some of that before I leave my mark on that pile of to-dos. Or maybe Ill let Roxi + Oliver do that. Im not one for making excuses, but letting a, The dog ate my homework pass my lips may be all thats needed to really set the tone for Augusts relaxing vibe. What are you going to blow off so you can play a bit today? What would your totem animal say? Listen. Much + a running with the big dogs + a little bird hug, Denise-Marie xx
