A Letter To My Doggy

Thanks for everything you've done for me puppy!

A Letter To My Doggy
Maggie Crouch

"The only thing that is constant is change." That's what Heraclitus, a famous Greek philosopher, said anyways. To some extent, I would have to agree with this. It seems like the world along with the people in it are always changing, growing and evolving. But one thing I have found that doesn't change is my dog. Obviously, she's gotten older as the years have passed, but she still has the soul of a puppy and the heart of a loyal best friend. So here's to my pup!

Thanks for the sweet kisses. Sure maybe you're just licking my legs because you like the lotion on them, but they always brighten my day and put a smile on my face.


Thanks for always greeting me at the door. Hearing you run towards me and seeing your tail wagging as you jump on me to welcome me home instantly puts me in a better mood.

Thanks for the laughter. Yes you may have given me a mini heart attack when you ate a whole box of mint meltaways, but seeing your satisfied face after you ate them still makes me giggle. And I was so scared when you had to get surgery, but seeing you with that cone around your head helped me know that you'd get better while also making me laugh.

Thanks for teaching me responsibility. If I didn't feed you at 5 o'clock sharp you'd look at me until I remembered to give you food. You were the first thing I ever truly felt relied on me. And trust me sweet girl, I rely on your for many things too!

Thanks for being my best friend. You're always there for me to snuggle with when I need some comfort. You're a great listener. You've grown along side of me, and I am forever grateful to have you in my life.

Love you forever and always Comet!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
