So, two weeks ago we got a puppy.  Her name is Lucy, and she's the cutest little puppy in the world.  When we got her, I knew that she would need a lot of training because she is, well a puppy.  But what I didn't realize at the time was how much my life would change as a result of adopting this little ball of fur.

Ever since we adopted Lucy, I am going outside so much more.  I guess I didn't realize how much time I spend inside.  Now I am going outside like every hour, which is awesome.  All that fresh air and bird song.  Wow!  I was missing out.

I am also moving my body way more.  I am taking Lucy for walks and running around with her outside.  Just wonderful.

And the naps!  I had forgotten how amazing it is to take a little snooze with a cute little puppy on my chest.

But the best thing I think about having a puppy is the amount of time I am spending with her just being in the moment and playing.  I am not scrolling social media like I once was.  When I do go online, I am so much more focused.  I know that this little fur ball is only going to allow me a few moments of peace before she needs something (much like a baby, or a toddler actually).

What a gift Lucy is to me and my family!  Until next time.....
