At times like these, I feel such gratitude for a friend like Shyla. She is such a sweet soul, so attuned to being loving toward the people around her. She is joyful about each day, trying to have as much fun and find as much contentment as she can.
Her joy is infectious. When I see her strike a pose like this one on a mesa in the desert, I have to smile along with her.
I don't know how I got so lucky as to have Shyla in my life. But, I do know that my gratitude is endless.
Thanks to Brian for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
they can be our rock surrounded by high waves... we wish your dad all the best and we hope for good news...

ReplyDeleteOh to be that flexible! Wondefur Shyla. YAM xx
We try to do daily howling sessions (about 1-3 minutes in length) with the dogs. It feels good to just let loose and let that howl come out and make noise. Hoping your dad continues to get better-hugs for the struggles as you watch him.
ReplyDeleteBut a beautiful pose Shyla casts! Sending oodles of poodles of well wishes for your dad.
ReplyDeleteShyla's glee and joy is obvious in your loving photos ...you two are soulmates.
