May your soul be touched by the magic of music!

                                    Lopez and I are back from our walk--and yes, he did his business--

Do you believe that "YOU" are special?----Imagine everything  you do in a day--You look after your family--which might be a dog --or a cat--You keep your home clean--probably "pick up" after people who live with you--You plan the meals--  You shop for the meals---You do the banking--probably the gardening-(-just listing some of your chores makes me tired. )----  No wonder you go to bed "pooped out"!-You really are special!

Last night I attended a concert here in town--It was part of the "concert series"---Son#1 and his wife picked me up--and sat with me--- The band was loud and good---happy  songs they played, like "Yellow Brick Road"---It was upbeat and fun --- and I loved it-- It was about 4 hours of fun, happy, music----

-I had left Lopez here alone , for several hours and he survived, but  I could tell by how he acted when I got home finally, that he had missed me---was very upset when he could not see me--You see I "crate" him at night--right beside my bed-- but I place his crate on a chest, so it is the same level as my bed--It was a lomg concert , so, to a Chihuahua, it was  VERY LONG--to be left alone at home.

But, WE CAN DO HARD STUFF---right?---If we need to go to a concert, we make sure the animals are settled at home--It's what "we" do!--Right?--WE LOOK AFTER PEOPLE!-  -and pets--

So, it is a new day and I must get "at-it"-- I have a lot of your comments to catch up on--I do miss you all when life gets busy--but----- We do what we can--for everyone else--This AM, the litter has even been emptied--plus the vacuum has been pushed around --well, sorta!-- 
And to-day, I must find time to play the piano--  --------Music touches your soul doesn't it?--so important to listen to as you go thru your day--

To-day I shall sing---- a lot of the music from the concert last night--maybe even dance around my tiny house---  Why not eh?---- Doncha find that "music is magic?-----Try dancing to-day----around your house-        --Your soul will be touched for sure!

    Good Friday Morning,
    Oh that's so nice you got to go and enjoy the concert and your Son and daughter in law also went.
    Just a thought, maybe you could leave a radio with soft music or the TV on for Lopez. The sound might be soothing to him while you are gone. That way he won't feel like he is alone.
    And I have to say by Friday I am wiped out from cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, etc and am so ready to sleep in a bit on Saturday, not that I sleep in very late. But it's nice to know I can. lol.
    Have a wonderful day, Lynda!

    Hugs,
    Jackie

    Good morning, sis. It's almost noon here.
    I am glad you enjoyed your concert and time with your kids. Music does raise us up!
    I listen to my country station all day until meditation time. Music (and camaraderie) is why I go to karaoke, too.
    I've already been out and about. Took 'Becca to the bank, etc and picked up an order from Walmart.
    Now Lucky and I have just had lunch. He thinks it's snooze time.
    Oh! The hotel sent me back the cane I left there! That came today, too.
    Cheers, Lynda. Listen to music, take a wee nap and think happy thoughts!
    I'll check back later. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    Hey Lynda! You seem happier today, or trying to be! I am glad! I worked hard at work all day, did overtime, and yep, I'm pooped. Ordering a pizza and a salad for delivery and then the evening is mine to do whatever I want!

    Hi Lynda; I agree with the above - you sound happier today. That's good. Have you started your grief sessions yet? My dog is also crated at night but in another room - bedroom not big enough! Play your piano tonight to feel good longer. Hugs Brenda

    Hi Lynda,
    Sounds like you enjoyed your outing.
    Lopez is fine in crate. A radio on might help him but I'm 99.9% certain he sleeps when your gone. He probably sleeps when you are home with him lol. People go to work and pets are home alone all day. I am glad you enjoyed event.
    Yes, take time to sing, dance and play your piano.
    Hugs

    Yes, for sure I am tired by the end of the day being caregiver for DH and still rehabbing my hip as well.

    Glad your DS and his wife picked you up for the concert! And I am sure Lopez missed you.

    Oh, I didn’t know Lopez understood Spanish! It is a good idea to keep TV or radio on if you can find a station that would suit him.

    Hugs and blessings
