lucky dog: an extremely lucky person

I keep meaning to tell y'all. We adopted a doggie from the Canyon County Animal Shelter in January. Meet the newest member of the Halgat-Johnson family, Waylon Jennings Johnson. He's got brains and beauty. We taught him how to shake and roll-over in less than a week.

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
