Thinking Out Loud: Sad day

Earlier today we discovered that our dog, Boomer was missing. Somehow he managed to escape from our yard. We made our way through the neighborhood searching for him, but never found him. We went out to the pound this morning and again this evening, but no luck there. Caden is having a hard time this evening. It's hard to sit and wonder all the what-ifs. Hopefully Boomer is safe. Hopefully we will have him home soon.

The Serenity Prayer
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Isaiah 42:16

-Edward Teller

Forgiveness
If I cannot forgive myself
For all the blunders
That I have made
Over the years,
Then how can I proceed?
How can I ever
Dream perfection-dreams?
Move, I must, forward.
Fly, I must, upward.
Dive, I must, inward,
To be once more
What I truly am
And shall forever remain.
-Sri Chinmoy
