Dear Maggie and Sailor,

I don't even know where to begin. You guys really are the best plain and simple. Its hard to put into words how much you really mean to me. The simple fact that you are both sitting on the couch with me as I write this to you shows that you love me just as much as I love you. There are so many great qualities about you guys I really just don't know where to begin to express how amazing you guys are.

I think one of the best things about you is that you guys love me unconditionally. I could accidentally bump you with a cabinet door or throw the ball into the bush, but that doesn't change how excited you get when I walk through the door or call you into my room,. You always come with the same amount of excitement and It rubs off on me. You're always down to hang, and you don't keep score against people when they do something you don't like. you both forget the wrongs and move on which is something I could really learn from y'all.

Another lesson I can take from you guys is that naps are not over rated. I have never met two dogs that sleep as much as you guys do in my entire life, and you guys don't just sleep- you SNORE. But, neither of those things is bad. I really could take a couple more naps and I'm sure my quality of life would go up for sure. Thank you for being such good nappers and showing me that its okay to sleep whenever and wherever I want to.

To Maggie, Im so thankful to have had you in my life while I've been growing up. You aren't getting any younger, but thirteen years old looks good on you girl. I'm proud of you for overcoming your hearing loss and still being such a spunky pup. You're just as fun and weird as the day we brought you home and I love you so much.

Sailor, you are insane, but I love you bud. When we finally decided that we wanted Maggie to have puppies and my parents decided we were going to keep one, I'll be honest and say you were definitely not my first choice of the litter. You were the runt and all your brothers and sisters picked on you so bad but i'm really happy we ended up with you. I've never met a dog who likes cuddles as much as you do and I'm really happy that you'll sit on my lap whenever I want you to. You're a pain in the butt, but I think I speak for the family when I say that we wouldn't want It any other way.

I love you guys so much,

Lilly

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.
