Smiling With the Snow

The snow is delicious

This is K.J. named after King Julian from the Madagascar movie. My daughter thought he looked like the monkey in that movie!  He is a handful and her Christmas gift...and as predicted by more than one person...he ended up in my home after neighbors in her NYC apartment building complained about the little annoying barks coming from this bundle of pomeranian/shih tzu joy! He is with me now and enjoying life as part of the pack with Bella, Nico and Juliet.

Smiling for the cameras....

It is a lovely snow day today.  The puppies are enjoying it and I am smiling watching them, but they are a handful.  Lots of things in life are challenging like my new puppy and his interactions with his new pack.  Caring for them is time consuming and difficult but wonderful at the same time. Some of the characters in the book that is taking me to Europe....are difficult and wonderful also.  My protagonists are difficult together because they are merging  cultures while going to a foreign country ravaged by war.  One of these facts is daunting to face.  All of them together is terrifying but as we will see...they are up for the challenge.  Can they overcome the obstacles of the after effects of war?  Can they face their own fears of finishing the job they set out to do?

When someone tells you NO time and time again...how do you react?  Do you back away or find another route of entry?  Think about it....for a minute....for awhile and see what your answer is!  It will surprise you and give you incite into how you handle your life.
