The Tuesday before Christmas I noticed my dog would occasionally drop her back end when she walked. Add that to the fact that she stopped taking the stairs to go to bed and I know something is wrong.

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 09:06:41 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40822/journal/448670 I have allowed the Universe to have control over everyday life.

I pretty much know what's coming each day of the week...and liking the weekends because they are just the opposite.But somehow, I just can't get excited today. Not even looking forward to the week.
