Good Lord!!! November is almost already over and I have not blogged a single time this month. Where has the time gone? I've been so busy with work and Benelli that I've hardly even taken a few moments to catch my breath and check my email this month. There was a time when I checked my email every hour on the hour. My how things have changed...

What a turn my life has taken from the rush of electronic pulses to the pulse of an actual beating heart. My life is still rushed, don't get me wrong, it's just filled with moments of complete joy now that had been missing for so long. Once there was a time when I could feel the Ulcer growing deep in the pit of my stomach. I could sense the stress about to bubble to the top uncontrollably and when it would finally explode, and I knew it would, I would not be responsible for my actions. At least that's the game I played with myself. I let other people control my emotions and have too much say over my day-to-day feelings and self worth. Now, even though I am answering to more people, I feel like I have more control over my life than I ever had before.

I keep returning to the theme of the calming effects that animals have on us Humans. I cannot escape the reality that I face everyday. The reality that the simple addition of a small furry creature that shares my home with me and counts on me to feed it and take care of it, has had such a huge impact on alleviating my stress level. And my new job is still going great. I love working with animals!
