Valley Fever: The background story.
When I moved to the Phoenix area in 2005, I knew nothing about Valley Fever. I got a quick education in 2007 when our chocolate lab, Brownie, suddenly began to lose weight and experience malaise.

Attack of the fauxtographer…
A friend of mine created this (undoubtedly) controversial blog on Tumblr recently. Although it reeks of frustration, I think she does have a point.

Gratitude
I decided to start a gratitude journal today. I might express my gratitude in words, or pictures, or both… 🙂 I’m sure it goes without saying that I am very grateful for my family and friends…so I don’t want it to appear that I’m leaving them out or that I’m more grateful for the “things”…
