I am not exactly sure what constitutes normal. I don't believe I have experienced it as it generally defined. In the past few weeks I have found getting one of my mood states into some semblance of 'normal' automatically triggered the opposite or polar mood state. I have tried so many medications that I really ought to be getting a guinea pig check from the drug companies. The good news today is that I woke up feeling more balanced and ready to face the world than I have in months. My very wise husband suggested that we 'drop by' my old dog training center just to see what old friends were up to. Before we had left I had signed up for a months worth of classes. It is bewildering to me that it has taken me so long to get back to what can only be described as a passion for me. Tuesday night Hulda and I went to classes and she utterly amazed me and the other trainers. Not only was she not rusty, she hadn't forgotten a thing. She out heeled, out stayed, out sat and out downed every other dog in the room. I couldn't have been prouder and honestly the accolades must go to her. I haven't worked her consistently in 2 1/2 years. It was almost as though she has been waiting for mom to wake up. Tonite is class two and I feel more than confident that after a month in the intermediate class she will be ready for the show prep class. It is not ridiculous to think I could test her out on the A &B matches by late March early April. The nationals are in May, what if I feel so good and am doing so well that I she finishes her title at the biggest show for Boxers of the year? I think it is a worthy goal and one I intend to aim for. Whatever I am feeling, normal or otherwise...it feels great!
