Annual Grateful Post

It's that time of year when I like to just stop and take a moment to post about the things I am most grateful for.  It's not meant to be long and sappy...or make myself or anyone else cry...it's just a moment in a very busy time of year when it does me good to just stop and be grateful...so here it is...in no particular order.

I am grateful for the mild November we have enjoyed.  I am grateful that I haven't had to brush snow off my car, shovel off a porch roof and scrape my windshield on a daily basis.  I'm grateful that my sixteen year old son only sprained his ankle (on his birthday) this week and is using crutches on dry pavement, not snow covered icy pavement. 

I am grateful for family...all of it!

I am grateful for my dog Chloe, the best dog on the planet.  She has her quirks...she farts whenever she pleases, she's afraid of her own shadow...and lately she likes going through the bathroom trash...but she's still the best dog in the world...and she came into this world on the same day my sister left this world...she's a wonderful reason to be grateful.

I'm grateful for my volunteer job at the ARL   I am most grateful to all of my photography customers.  You are all an important part of my life, and my future!

I am grateful for my seasonal job at LL Bean.  I get to talk to great people, all over our country, all day long.  I make a little Christmas money, and enjoy a great employee discount, and get to share these benefits with my family!  It's an outrageously busy time of year to juggle this extra responsibility, but I'm very grateful to have it.

Hannah

Here are a few shots of last months Dog Wash portrait winner.
Meet Hannah...she's a rescue...somewhere in the 1 to 4 year range...mix uncertain....but one think is sure...she's a sweetheart!
These photos were taken on the Eastern Trails in Scarborough...on a gorgeous fall Saturday morning.

Cats!

Every single week I photograph 15 to 30 cats at the Animal Refuge League.  Every single week I have some of my best material, but I don't share it with you because I share it with the Animal Refuge League and they put up all the photos on the cat page...so you can look at them...and hopefully find a new friend to share your life with.  This week, I thought I would share with you...just a few of the available cats, photos I took these last two weeks.  Go ahead...fall in love!
