While drinking my morning coffee, I happened to stop on a channel discussing finishing in ones life. The speaker reminded the audience that is is very easy to start something because there is much emotion and encouragement behind the effort. There is just about nothing that will stop you when all you can see are possibilities in your success (whatever that may be). When it comes to the middle part; the time when you feel the ambition slipping and the doubt overcoming any possible encouragement; thats when the work starts. The speaker continued on that FINISHING is important because this is where the fulfillment truly lies. Contemplating this, I have determined that this year is the rescues middle. To say its been an emotionally exhausting year, is an almost comical understatement. Loss would summarize this year. Now, there has been some wonderfully fulfilling moments peppered in. :-) Had there not been, I would have to rely on my faith even more than I thought I could. 105 dogs were rescued 76 were considered rescue only To those who follow the rescue here on Facebook, I want to reveal to you that your letters/messages/phone calls of encouragement had lifted me up more than once this year. You graciousness was felt and helped with the efforts of dogs who had not yet been rescued. Even small notes in the mail gave me the energy to keep the focus on why the rescue was founded. Really, the only reason was to save the German Shepherd breed. At times, with so much activity and need, that simple goal can easily get lost. So, to you,...Thank you. Now..., these wonderful, blazing lights left me this year. I swear if my faith wasnt so strong, I would have surely died myself from a broken heart. But, they are all in safe-keeping in a place so glorious, I can only imagine. The pack who passed also included one of my greatest loves, Kaiser Wilhelm Marks. I can hardly think of him without needing to pause to gather my emotions. You were all loved, your ashes are only the remains of your omnipotent spirit. Shine On. Kaiser, Helga, Indy, Joy, Emmett, Sargeant, Bear, Sampson, Ruthie, Maximus, and Thor; you are dearly missed. Welcome 2015, show the rescue your promise!
