Brand new beginings

After much thought and consideration I have decided to start a new blog page. The old blog was about much the same as this blog with a few details changing. The old blog was for friends and family origonally and many have quit reading. Unfortunately it also became a way for others to snoop and then twist things into their creations to spread rumors, creat problems, and so forth. This blog will be set to public, however it will remain a little lower key and less "revealing". I will continue to "keep it real", be my self, and tell it like it is. One difference is it will keep private details private. So those of you who find this blog and want to "corupt", twist, and create damage will not have as much fun. :-P That being said, this new blog is a new begining! In one of the last posts on the "old" blog I said things were changing and they are, very slowly and as thought out as possible. I still have a lot of unknowns and a lot of things yet to be determined. I am trying to stay upbeat and positive through it all. I do have so much to be thankful for. I did this once on the old blog, but with a new begining I wanted to sort of reafirm the things/people I am thankful for. So here goes: A-Animals, if you know me you know I love all animals, the feathered, the furry, and all in between. I have a huge soft spot for animals and can often be found watching the antelope and the deer that run wild by my current house. B-Brimhall, I am thankful to have become a member of this family. I have met so many wonderful people because of this family and as part of this family. C-Computers, I dont care much for computers in general, but love how I can stay connected to those I care about because of the computer. D-Dogs, in general. I love all types of animals, however I do have a special spot in my heart just for dogs. E-Eyeore, I just love Eyeore from the cartoon Winnie the Pooh. I dont know why, but he just makes me smile. He is one of my fave cartoons. F-Friends and Family, sometimes one and the same. My support system. I could not be who I am and do what I need to do without every single one of them. G-Gizmo, though he is gone now, I will forever be thankful that small little creature was in my life. He was in every sense possible my baby. That pug was my world. H-Harlee, my youngest niece! She reminds me a lot of my brother, good and bad. She is so full of love and so full of mischief. I-Iphone, sounds crazy I know. I love my Iphone. I didnt even have texting before I got this phone. I love that I can text my BFF every day if I want to, I love being able to send pics to her or to my niece Kenzie. J-Jack, my chocolate labrador. I was once told he would not live to see the age of 5. Last month he turned 6! Though he and struggle every day on how to manage his health I love all that he has taught me. Despite his health he is such a loving dog who loves to be loved and loves to cuddle. K-Kitties, I love kitties. I always had a cat until I got married, then Clay had to stay with my mom and dad because Eric is allergic. I wish I could have a kitty again one day. L-Lake, I love to see the lake and just sit and watch the water. It has a calming effect on me at times. M-MaKenzie, my oldest niece! She is in many ways my mini-me! I just love her to pieces. N-Nash, my Nasher, Nashman! This boxer has so much energy, love, and compassion in his little paws (well okay not so little paws). He knows when I need to cuddle, he knows when I dont feel well, he knows just what I need and I love just love him to pieces. O-Origonal, I am very origonal. I like that some people think I am crazy nuts and I think outside the box at times. I was born to be me and no one else but me. :) P-Pratt, this is a family name and part of who I am. I enjoy listening to my grandpa tell me stories about when he was a kid and some of the things he has gone through in his life. Q-Qualls, this is a family name and its part of my genealogy. Its full of mystery and I like to try and find more things/people that are part of this line. R-Rain, Its simple, its pure, and I absolutely love the smell of rain and the smell of wet sage after the rain is done. S-Saratoga Springs, believe it or not part of who I am has to do with the people and place of Saratoga Springs. I am surrounded by some awesome people and have loved my time there. T-Trees, I love a good tree. Rather its a tree which gives me yummy peaches or apples, or a good shade tree. I could listen to those leaves blowing in the breeze for hours. U-Utah, where I live and where most of my friends and family are. I love the winters, the spring, the fall, there arent very many places like Utah. You have mountains every where you look! You have such a wide variety of climates all in one state. V-Variety, I have a hard time with change, but I do like a variety of things. Reading, movies, art, quiet, music. W-Wilderness, I love to be out in the wilderness, just taking it all in. I dont get the chance to do that often so it makes it extra special when I do get the opertunity. X-I have no idea what to be thankful for that starts with X. So I have to take a pass on this haha. Y-You, the reader of this blog. You are either reading because you care or because you are being a snoop, either way I am thankful that you have taken the time to read this. Z-Zoo, I like to go to the zoo with my nieces. They are so excited to see the animals and well lets face it I love them and I love animals! Some letters are hard to think of just one thing to be thankful for and others are a bit tougher. Well anywho, thats a good begining I think. Luvs ya!
