I saw her today and I saw my favorite puppy.

4th-week-159

She has grown of course, and can no longer fit in that little cup, but
she will never be too big to have a place inside my heart.   Just like
her mom.

I miss them all, but I have plans.  I’ll get back to them someday. 
Life is an ongoing  construction and I have a lot of work left to do.

There is nothing like the morning sun after a hard day’s work.  I walk at my own pace nowadays and have started to notice things I have never noticed before.   I remember enjoying long walks alone in random directions through side-streets in the Manila Area.  I remember walking around San Juan and the New Manila areas too.

Times changed a few years back as I found myself in a relationship where I lost all the things I took for granted.  Now, with my new-found freedom I took my time to visit nostalgia.  I went to the arcades and hacked away until my arms could no longer maintain a proper sixteen beat drum roll.  I went to the friends I ended up ignoring in favor of the love of my life.  (She still is by the way, but I need a lot of work)  I ate the things I liked eating.  I tried my hand at sculpting too.  (epic fail)

Today, I look back at the last two weeks and it felt like it was more appropriate for me to be alone.  Although I am lonely, I have never felt more alive.  Change might have done me some good. 

Life is beautiful.
