Birthday Gerbers


Celebrating "ME" with a sprinkle of color...

Margit

My beloved snuggle buddy, Margit

She only had one eye, but could truly see the beauty in all things. She was sweet, gentle, smart, funny and incredibly loving. I am grateful for the time I had with her, one solitary year, as she taught me to trust and love again, despite being scared of the pain that often accompanies these emotions. Will miss you, forever, my sweet lil love.

It's been a while...

Today, I am finding my way back to this journal after a long absence.
I have been sadly distracted by life, but not necessarily because of good happenings within it. Within the past year, my department left Dallas, and along with it a job that took me over two long years to figure out.
Now I am in a position that leaves me brain-dead and surrounded by risk that constantly has my blood pressure raised and my blood glucose levels off the charts.
I was supposed to move back to NY but let's just say, I got screwed over.

I moved in October to my dream apartment but lost my beloved Margit in September.
I was looking forward to our one year anniversary together, and sharing my love for the Autumn season with her. She died just hours before the official start of Fall.
I so wanted to give her a warm hearth to snuggle upon, and a patio for bird watching. She was a gift to me, a beautiful, sweet, loving, funny soul and I will miss her daily morning greetings, when she would hear my alarm and jump to snuggle with me upon my bed pillows.
This loss left me very angry and sad. I will dedicate a post to her in time.

Yesterday was my birthday and I feel very blessed with my family and my friends.
My mom and Mouse bought me a beautiful laptop, which is why I am blogging at the moment. I want to go back to school and do something meaningful with my life.

I have gerber daisies and tulips in the house as it feels different with flowers sprinkled about. It feels good, like a home. Like my home.
