A Sefirot Practice

I was hit by a car in late fall while walking to a community event. While having my leg surgically repaired I experienced multiple complications, turning my one night in the hospital into an unexpected "vacation" from Thanksgiving to the middle of January. As my regular sitter was unavailable, I hired a friend’s inexperienced daughter to care for my home and dogs. After a frantic late night call from a neighbor just days before Christmas, I found out that my two large and already very anxious rescue dogs were repeatedly left alone for hours on end, and at times as much as four days at a time! As well there were unauthorized guests in my home, things missing, and simple things such as mail and plant watering were not addressed. I was worried sick and the stress of this resulted in additional complications.

By a Christmas miracle, "Auntie Lisa" came to our rescue and not only rescued my babies out of a horrid and neglectful situation, but was also more than willing to take on extra needed household tasks (shopping, cleaning, home upkeep and care.) When I was finally discharged I had a nice haven to return to and two very happy and very spoiled dogs. Additionally I now have someone nearby I can depend upon to play with my dogs and help with errands and continuing household care as I continue to heal. Auntie Lisa still comes for regular visits, her pockets full of treats. My furry family and I are always happy to see her cheerful smiling face!          Kerri H.
