Goodbye, Sparkles (6 Sept 2017)

My 14 year old Silky Terrier died at home today. I'm not in the mood to blog but felt her passing deserved a mention. She's been such an integral part of my family's lives. In the past few months, I could just feel a change in her. Suddenly, she was acting old. I knew she was old but she was different. I'm just glad that she was home and I was next to her during her last moments. I'd combed out her fur as best as I could, put on her collar and crossed her head with Holy Water. Shortly after that, she passed on.

Milestones. Milestones. This year has been just that. I'll keep it short because I'm not really in the mood to write. The girl has graduated from University and done pretty well. The boy has graduated from Polytechnic and is serving his National Service in the military. He has done well enough to secure a spot in University. I thank God for these blessings. 

Marriage? Super in love with Hubby. I expect he is with me too! Lol.

On the health front, my cycle is like clockwork now. Amazing right? It's a bit of a reverse. Crazy cycles when younger and during childbearing years and now, it's on the dot.
My weight? Have kept off the weight I lost in my last few posts but have not lost any more because I have not been exercising as much. Need to start again. My appendix wound? Superficially, it has recovered well. Except for a small scar, my belly button is looking great. Lol. Internally, I won't know but I feel ok. Went for Treadmill ECG at the hospital and there is nothing wrong with my heart. Good to know, huh? Generally, health is good.

My faith in faith? I try to say the Rosary every night. I try to lift up as many of other people's intentions as I can. This is how I see myself developing from here on, praying for others. 

What have I been doing? I enjoy cooking so I cook a lot now. Not a great cook but most of the time, dishes are palatable.

If you are reading this, thank you so much for keeping with me all these years. I don't know when I will check in to blog again! Take care!
